arsanes

The saturated hydrides of tervalent arsenic, having the general formula As_nH_n+2 . Individual members having an unbranched arsenic chain are named arsane, diarsane, triarsane, etc. The name of a saturated hydride of arsenic where one or more arsenic atoms have bonding number 5 is formed by prefixing locants and $λ 5$ symbols to the name of the corresponding arsane, e.g. H₂AsAsHAsH₂ triarsane, H₄AsAsH₃AsH₄1 $λ 5$ ,2 $λ 5$ ,3 $λ 5$ -triarsane. Hydrocarbyl derivatives of AsH₃ belong to the class arsines.
