Arsenic (III) binding sites usually use thiol groups of cysteine residues. The catalysis involves thiolates of Cys72, Cys174, and Cys224. In an SN2 reaction, the positive charge on the SAM sulfur atom pulls the bonding electron from the carbon of the methyl group, which interacts with the arsenic lone pair to form an As−C bond, leaving SAH.

Arsenic trioxide powder.. Compounds of arsenic resemble in some respects those of phosphorus which occupies the same group (column) of the periodic table.The most common oxidation states for arsenic are: −3 in the arsenides, which are alloy-like intermetallic compounds, +3 in the arsenites, and +5 in the arsenates and most organoarsenic compounds.
Arsenic is a chemical element with the symbol As and the atomic number 33. It is a metalloid and one of the pnictogens, and therefore shares many properties with its group 15 neighbors phosphorus and antimony. Arsenic is a notoriously toxic heavy metal.
Cummins' Mo(N(tBu)Ar) 3 catalyst, also known to split the N-N triple bond in dinitrogen, reacts with yellow arsenic to form a terminal arsenic moiety triple-bonded to the metal center - one of only several compounds known to contain a terminal arsenic atom. [15] Complexes with metal-metal multiple bonds also enable mild As 4 activation ...
Arsenic-arsenic bonds are very weak, and oligomeric arsenic compounds are even more liable to oxidize than their hydrogenated precursors. [6]: 318–320 The following reaction can, however, be prepared through electrochemical reduction in a zinc-sulfate cell. [6]: 473 Oxidation first forms polymeric arsinoxides, e.g.: MeAs + O → MeAsO
In its standard state arsine is a colorless, denser-than-air gas that is slightly soluble in water (2% at 20 °C) [1] and in many organic solvents as well. [citation needed] Arsine itself is odorless, [5] but it oxidizes in air and this creates a slight garlic or fish-like scent when the compound is present above 0.5 ppm. [6]
Melting point: High, since melting means breaking covalent bonds (rather than merely overcoming weaker intermolecular forces). [ 5 ] Solid-phase electrical conductivity : Variable, [ 6 ] depending on the nature of the bonding: network solids in which all electrons are used for sigma bonds (e.g. diamond, quartz) are poor conductors, as there are ...
Bonding in arsenate consists of a central arsenic atom, with oxidation state +5, double bonded to one oxygen atom and single bonded to a further three oxygen atoms. [2] The four oxygen atoms orient around the arsenic atom in a tetrahedral geometry. [2] Resonance disperses the ion's −3 charge across all four oxygen atoms.
