Abstract
We report here the synthesis and structural characterization of the first binary iron arsenide cluster anion, [Fe3 (As3 )3 (As4 )]3- , present in both [K([2.2.2]crypt)]3 [Fe3 (As3 )3 (As4 )] (1) and [K(18-crown-6)]3 [Fe3 (As3 )3 (As4 )]⋅en (2). The cluster contains an Fe3 triangle with three short Fe-Fe bond lengths (2.494(1) Å, 2.459(1) Å and 2.668(2) Å for 1, 2.471(1) Å, 2.473(1) Å and 2.660(1) Å for 2), bridged by a 2-butene-like As4 unit. An analysis of the electronic structure using DFT reveals a triplet ground state with direct Fe-Fe bonds stabilizing the Fe3 core.

Abstract
The [Nb@As8]3- anion was first isolated from solution in 1986, and a number of isostructural [M@Pn8]n- clusters (M = Nb, Cr, or Mo; Pn = As or Sb; n = 2 or 3) have since been reported. We show here how anions of this class can be used as synthetic precursors that, in combination with sources of low-valent late transition metals (Cu and Ag), generate ternary polyarsenide cluster anions with unprecedented structural motifs. Chain type [MM'As16]4- (M = Nb or Ta; M' = Cu or Ag) units are found in compounds 2-5. These clusters contain a nortricyclane-like As7 cage and a [M@As8] crown, linked by a single As atom, and represent a fusion of two quite distinct branches of polyarsenide chemistry. Our analysis of the electronic structure confirms that the cluster retains many of the features of the component units. Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry reveals a series of smaller component ions containing 8-12 As atoms, the density functional theory-computed structures of which can be understood in terms of the pseudoelement concept. This work not only presents a new type of coordination mode for As clusters but also offers a point of entry for the rational design of multinary arsenic-based materials.

Abstract
The generation and handling of the light-sensitive and metastable yellow arsenic (As4) is extremely challenging. In view of recent breakthroughs in synthesizing As4 storage materials and transfer reagents, the more intensive use of yellow arsenic as a source for further reactions can be expected. Given these aspects, the current stage of knowledge of the direct use of As4 is comprehensively summarized in the present review, which lists the activation of As4 by main group elements as well as transition metal compounds (including the f-block elements). Moreover, it also partly compares the reaction outcomes in relation to the corresponding reactions of P4. The possibility of using alternative sources for generating arsenic moieties and compounds is also discussed. The release of As4 molecules from precursor compounds and the use of transfer reagents for polyarsenic entities open up new synthetic pathways to avoid the direct generation of yellow arsenic solutions and to ensure its smooth usage for subsequent reactions.

Abstract
Reactions of the protonated heptaphosphide dianion, [HP7](2-), with one equivalent of E[N(SiMe3)2]2 (E = Ge, Sn, Pb) give rise to novel derivatized cluster anions [P7EN(SiMe3)2](2-) (E = Ge (1), Sn (2) and Pb (3)). All three species were characterized by multi-element solution-phase NMR spectroscopy and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. In addition, 1 and 2 were structurally authenticated by means of single crystal X-ray diffraction in [K(18-crown-6)]2[P7EN(SiMe3)2]·2py. Interestingly, while 2 appears to be indefinitely stable in solution for prolonged periods of time, the germanium-containing analogue, 1, readily decomposes at room temperature giving rise to the dimeric species [(P7Ge)2N(SiMe3)2](3-) (4) and [K(18-crown-6)][N(SiMe3)2]. A low quality single crystal X-ray structure of the former allowed for the confirmation of its composition and connectivity which is consistent with the (31)P NMR spectrum obtained for the anion.

Abstract
The reaction of the phosphinidene complex [Cp*P{W(CO)5}2] (1 a) with di-tert-butylcarboimidophosphene leads to the P-C cage compound 6 and the Lewis acid-base adduct [Cp*P{W(CO)5}2(CNtBu)] (2 a). In contrast, the arsinidene complex shows a different reactivity. At low temperatures, the arsaphosphene complex [{W(CO)5}{η(2)-(Cp*)As=P(tBu)}{W(CO)5}] (3) is formed. At these temperatures, 3 reacts further with a second equivalent of carboimidophosphene to form [{W(CO)5}{η(2)-{(Cp*)(tBu)P}As=P(tBu)}{W(CO)5}] (5), probably by the insertion of a phosphinidene unit (tBuP) into an As-C bond. In contrast, at room temperature 3 reacts further by a radical-type reaction to form [{(tBu)P=As-As=P(tBu)}{W(CO)5}4] (4). Compound 4 is the first example of a neutral, 1,3-butadiene analogue containing only mixed heavier Group 15 elements. It consists of two P=As double bonds connected by arsenic atoms.
