The arsoniumcation is a positively charged polyatomic ion with the chemical formulaAsH+ 4. An arsonium salt is a salt containing either the arsonium (AsH+ 4) cation, such as arsonium bromide (AsH+ 4Br− ) and arsonium iodide (AsH+ 4I− ), which can be synthesized by reacting arsine with hydrogen bromide or hydrogen iodide.[1] Or more commonly, as organic derivative such as the quaternary arsonium salts Ph 4As+ Cl− (CAS: 123334-18-9 , hydrate form) and the zwitterionic compound arsenobetaine.
