Lithium arsenide describes inorganic compounds with the chemical formula LixAs where x can range from about 0.5 to 3. A common derivative is Li3As, which is prepared by the reduction of arsenic with a solution of lithium in ammonia.[1] It can also be produced by heating the elements.[2]

3 Li + As → Li3As

Other lithium arsenides

The arsenic-rich arsenides are often classified as zintl phases.

  • Li3As7 adopts a structure akin to the heptaphosphide.[4][5]
  • Lithium monoarsenide (LiAs) forms monoclinic crystals, space group P21/c,[3] cell parameters a = 0.579 nm, b = 0.524 nm, c = 1.070 nm, β = 117.4°, Z = 8.[6]
