The arsonium cation is a positively charged polyatomic ion with the chemical formula AsH⁺
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.
