Abstract: Triphenylarsine (AsPh₃) is oxidized by dioxygen in acetonitrile at el­ evated temperature in the presence of iron(III) thiocyanate complexes to triphenylarsine oxide (OAsPh₃). From the system Fe(NCS)₃—AsPh₃—0₂—acetonitrile, the triphenylarsine oxide complexes have been obtained with the composition Fe(NCS)₃(OAsPh₃)₂ and Fe(NCS₎₃(OAsPh₃)_1.5. Their ste­ reochemistry is discussed on the basis of magnetic and spectral data.
