Man On The Clapham Omnibus Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 1983 'Studies on the Chemistry of Arsoles' Publication of 'Studies on the Chemistry of Arsoles', a paper by G Markl and H Hauptmann, in J. Organomet. Chem., 248 (1983) 269. Arsole is the name of a ring-shaped molecule, the arsenic equivalent of pyrrole, and, contrary to expectations, is only moderately aromatic. Dr Paul May comments: "The structure where arsole is fused to a benzene ring is called 'benzarsole', and apparently when it's fused to six benzenes it would be called 'sexibenzarsole' (although that molecule hasn't been synthesised yet)."
