Chloride-catalyzed, multicomponent self-assembly of arsenic thiolatesf

摘要

We present the observation that chloride serves as a simple catalyst for the acceleration of a self-assembly reaction between AsCl_3 and dithiolate ligands (H_2L) to form As_2L_3 assemblies. Studies on a model monomeric arsenic complex suggest that chloride may accelerate ligand exchange dynamics in pnictogen thiolates in general.
