N2 - The compounds tert-butyl-arsenium(III) tri - chlorido-bis[trichlorido- titanium(IV)], (C4H12As)[Ti2Cl9] or [tBuAsH3][Ti2(-Cl)3Cl6], (II), and bis-[bromido-triphenyl-arsenium(V)] di - bromido - oxido-bis-[tribromido-titanium(IV)], (C18H15AsBr) 2[Ti2Br8O] or [Ph3AsBr] 2[Ti2(-O)(-Br)2Br6], (III), were obtained unexpectedly from the reaction of simple arsane ligands with Ti IV halides, with (II) lying on a mirror plane in the unit cell of the space group Pbcm. Both compounds contain a completely novel ion, with [ tBuAsH3]+ constituting the first structurally characterized example of a primary arsenium cation. The oxide-bridged titanium-containing [Ti2(-O)(-Br)2Br6] 2- dianion in (III) is also novel, while the bromido-triphenyl- arsenium(V) cation is structurally characterized for only the second time.
