Abstract The NRCC standard reference material DORM-2 and the marine brown alga Hijiki fuziforme were extracted with water, methanol/water (9,+,1), and 1.5 M orthophosphoric acid. The extracts from DORM-2 were analyzed by HPLC,ICP-MS for arsenobetaine, arsenocholine, trimethylarsine oxide, and the tetramethylarsonium cation and the extracts from H. fuziforme for arsenous acid, arsenic acid, dimethylarsinic acid, methylarsonic acid, and four arsenoriboses. Almost no differences between the three extractants were observed when DORM-2 was investigated. Only arsenobetaine was slightly better extracted with 1.5 M orthophosphoric acid or methanol/water (9,+,1) than with water. The sum of all extractable compounds (arsenobetaine, the tetramethylarsonium cation, and a formerly unknown compound recently identified as the trimethyl(2-carboxyethyl)arsonium ion) accounted for 94% of the total arsenic when 1.5 M orthophosphoric acid was used, for 92% when methanol/water (9,+,1) was used, and for 87% when water was used. Significant differences in the extraction yields obtained for the alga were observed for arsenic acid and one of the arsenoriboses (,glycerol-ribose'). Orthophosphoric acid removed twice as much of this ribose from the algal material than water and three times more than methanol/water (9,+,1). Arsenic acid was 1.2 times better extracted with orthophosphoric acid than with water and ten times better than with methanol/water (9,+,1). Almost no differences in the extraction yields were found for dimethylarsinic acid and the other three riboses. Orthophosphoric acid extracted 76%, water 65%, and methanol/water 33% of the total arsenic from H. fuziforme. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source]


Tetraethylammonium dihydrogenarsenate bis(arsenic acid) and 1,4-diazoniabicyclo[2.2.2]octane bis(dihydrogenarsenate) arsenic acid: hydrogen-bonded networks containing dihydrogenarsenate anions and neutral arsenic acid molecules

ACTA CRYSTALLOGRAPHICA SECTION C, Issue 7 2007
Clare Lee
The title compounds, (C8H20N)[H2AsO4][H3AsO4]2, (I), and (C6H14N2)[H2AsO4]2[H3AsO4], (II), are unusual salts containing organic cations, dihydrogenarsenate anions and neutral arsenic acid molecules. In (I), the dihydrogenarsenate anion lies across a twofold rotation axis in the space group C2/c, while the cation is disordered across a centre of inversion. The [H2AsO4], and H3AsO4 species interact by way of O,H...O hydrogen bonds, leading to sheets and a three-dimensional network for (I) and (II), respectively. [source]


Determination of diphenylarsinic acid and phenylarsonic acid, the degradation products of organoarsenic chemical warfare agents, in well water by HPLC,ICP-MS

Abstract Diphenylarsinic acid (DPAA) and phenylarsonic acid (PAA), which were degradation products of organoarsenic chemical warfare agents used as sternutatory gas, were detected in the well water at Kamisu, Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan. The standard material of DPAA was synthesized with aqueous arsenic acid and phenylhydrazine in order to determine organic arsenic compounds in well water. The DPAA showed a protonated ion at m/z 263 [M + H]+ and a loss of H2O ion at m/z 245 [M + H , H2O]+ from protonated ion by the electrospray ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The quantitative analysis of DPAA and PAA was performed by high-performance liquid chromatography inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry and the system worked well for limpid liquid samples such as well water.
