Cyclotriarsanes are rare and limited synthetic approaches have hampered reactivity studies on these systems. Described in here is a scalable synthetic protocol towards (AsAr)<sub>3</sub> (Ar = Dip, 2,6-<sup>i</sup>Pr<sub>2</sub>-C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>3</sub>; Tip, 2,4,6-<sup>i</sup>Pr<sub>3</sub>-C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>2</sub>), which allowed to study their reactivity towards [Cp<sub>2</sub>Ti(C<sub>2</sub>(SiMe<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>], affording titanocene diarsene complexes and towards N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) to give straightforward access to a variety of NHC-arsinidene adducts. The electronic structure of the titanium diarsene complxes has been studied and they are best described as Ti(IV) species with a doubly reduced As<sub>2</sub>Ar<sub>2</sub> ligand. These findings will make (AsAr)<sub>3</sub> valuable precursors in the synthetic inorganic and organic chemistry.

Compounds with (NHC)→E coordination bond are being generated and their chemistry is being explored over the past 15 years (NHC= N-heterocyclic carbenes, E = main group elements). Many examples of species with N-heterocyclic olefins (NHOs) are known, which exhibit umpolung chemistry. Increasing number of chemical species, which carry NHC as a functional unit, are being reported. There is a need to understand their electronic structure. Alkylated imidazole oximes (cationic, found useful in medicinal chemistry) ((NHC)-C(H)=N-OH(+)) carry NHC unit as a functional group. Similarly, the corresponding nitroso-N-heterocyclic olefins ((NHC)=C(R)-N=O) also carry NHC as a functional unit. It is important to establish the interaction between the NHC unit and the rest part of the molecule in these species. Density functional (DFT) study has been carried out to explore the electronic structure details of a few oximes and nitroso NHOs. The results indicate that a structure with NHC→C coordination interaction can be considered as one of the resonance structures of these species.

UV and X-ray photoelectron spectra of three N-heterocyclic carbenes under synchrotron radiation reveal details of their electronic structure and are used as a benchmark to test computational methods for treating core ionizations in systems with unusual electronic structures.

The reaction between a triphosphenium salt and S,N-heterocyclic carbenes grants phosphamethine cyanines with a different electronic structure than those of their NHC-ligated analogues.
