2,5-Diarylarsoles were easily synthesized from nonvolatile arsenic precursors. Diiodoarsine was generated in situ and reacted with titanacyclo­penta­dienes to give 2,5-diarylarsoles. The structures and optical properties were studied in comparison with those of 2,5-diarylphosphole. It was found that the arsoles were much more stable in the air than the phosphole. Single crystal X-ray diffraction revealed the arsenic atoms adopted a trigonal pyramidal structure, reflecting on the s-character of the lone pair. The obtained 2,5-diarylarsoles and 2,5-diarylphosphole showed intense emission in solutions and solid state. In addition, the optical properties were controlled by transition-metal coordination.
