Abstract

The reaction of tris (trimethylsilyl) arsenate(V) and heptamethyldisilazane yields hexamethyldisiloxane and a crystalline adduct [(Me3SiO)3AsO·(Me3SiO)3AsNMe] (2). The crystal structure of 2 features a planar four-membered ring OAs2N(Me) with two pentacoordinate arsenic atoms bridged symmetrically (point group C2) by an oxygen atom and the methylimmo group. In benzene solution, compound 2 is dissociated into the components (Me3SiO)AsO and the imino compound (Me3SiO)3AsNMe, which isomerizes to give the amino isomer (Me3-SiO)2AsO[N(Me)SiMe3]. (Me3SiO)3AsO reacts with (trimethylsilyl)aniline to give again (Me3-Si)2O and bis(trimethylsilyl) (phenylamino)arsenate(V) (4). In the solid state two crystallographically nonequivalent aminoarsenate molecules (Me3SiO)2AsO[N(H)Ph] with tetracoordinate arsenic atoms are associated into dimers via two NH⋯O hydrogen bonds.
