Popis: A facile, one-pot synthesis of [Na(OCAs)(dioxane)x] (x = 2.3 - 3.3) in 78% yield is reported through the reaction of arsine gas with dimethylcarbonate in the presence of NaOtBu and 1,4-dioxane. It has been employed for the synthesis of the first arsaketenyl-functionalized germylene [LGeAsCO] (2, L = CH[CMeNDipp]2, Dipp = 2,6-iPr2C6H3) from the reaction with LGeCl 1. If exposed to daylight, 2 undergoes CO elimination to form the 1,3-digerma-2,4-diarsacyclobutadiene [L2Ge2As2] 3 which contains a symmetric Ge2As2 ring with ylide-like Ge=As bonds. Remarkably, the CO ligand at the arsenic center of 2 can be exchanged with PPh3 or an N-heterocyclic carbene donor to afford the novel germylidenylarsinidene complexes [LGe-AsPPh3] 4 and [LGe-As(NHC)] 5, respectively, demonstrating transition metal-like ligand substitution at the arsinidene-like As atom. The formation of 2-5 and their electronic structures have been studied by DFT calculations.
