Tetrakis(iso-propyl)diarsine was synthesized by the reaction of (i-Pr)2AsLi with (i-Pr)2AsI. The lithium salt of the secondary arsine was produced following deprotonation of (i-Pr)2AsH, obtained by reduction of (i-Pr)2AsI, which was prepared by the thermolysis of (i-Pr)3Asl2. The X-ray crystal structure of \(i-Pr)3AsI]\I] has been determined on the product of the reaction of (i-Pr)3As and 12. Compounds of the general form E=As(i-Pr)3 (E = O, S, Se) have been prepared.
