Abstract

Attempted metalation of the dimer [CyNHAs(μ-NCy)]₂ (1) with ZnMe₂ gives the novel complex [{MeAs(NHCy)(NCy)}ZnMe]₂ (2), a reaction formally involving transfer of a Zn-bonded Me group to the As(III) center, rather than the anticipated deprotonation of the CyNH groups. 2 has an unusual ladder structure in the solid state, composed of a central (ZnMe)₂ dimer unit coordinated by two [MeAs(NHCy)(NCy)]^- anions.
