The reaction of the potassium β-diiminate KL (L = [{N(Ar)C(H)}2CPh]−; Ar = C6H3Pri2-2,6) with AsI3 gave [AsI2L] (1), which upon reduction with KC8 produced [(κ1-L)2As–As![[double bond, length as m-dash]](https://www.rsc.org/images/entities/char_e001.gif)
As(κ2-L)] (2), having a unique bent chain of the three arsenic atoms in the formal oxidation states +2, 0 and +1.
