The reaction of arsenic, MgSO4and S2Cl2in ace- tonitrile yielded the title compound along with 4,5- dichloro-1,2,3-dithiazolium chloride, [C2NS2Cl2]Cl (which was formed from the solvent and S2Cl2).
The crystal strucutre of [Mg(NCCH3)6][As4Cl14] was determined by X-ray diffraction. It is triclinic, space groupP1¯,Z= 2,R= 0.049. The Mg2+ion is coordinated by six acetonitrile ligands. The anions consist of AsCl4Ðand AsCl3units which are asso- ciated to chains along theaaxis by As ··· Cl con- tacts. Each As atom has distorted octahedral coor- dination.
