Cadet's fuming liquid

Cadet's fuming liquid

In 1760, the French chemist Louis Claude Cadet de Gassicourt (1731-1799) synthesized a red liquid by the reaction of potassium acetate with arsenic trioxide. [cite journal

:4KCH3COO + As2O3 → As2(CH3)4O + 4K2CO3 + CO2

The liquid contains a mixture of cacodyl and cacodyl oxide. These were the first organometallic substances prepared, so Cadet can be regarded as the father of organometallic chemistry. [Gerard Jaouen. "Bioorganometallics: Biomolecules, Labeling, Medicine". Wiley, 2006. ISBN 352730990X]
