Arsine is the inorganic compound with the formula AsH3. This flammable pyrophoric and highly toxic gas is one of the simplest compounds of arsenic. Despite its lethality it finds some applications in the semiconductor industry and for the synthesis of organoarsenic compounds. The term arsine is commonly used to describe a class of organoarsenic compounds of the formula AsH3−xRx where R = aryl or alkyl. For example As(C6H5)3 called triphenylarsine is referred to as an arsine.
