Organoarsenic compounds have been known for over 200 years and in that time have given insight into important theoretical topics in chemistry from valency to aromaticity. They have also proved to have beneficial pharmacological effects. Organoarsenic compounds are produced industrially with uses as insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides. In general these applications are declining in step with growing concerns about their impact on the environment and human health. The parent compound is arsine. Despite their toxicity, organoarsenic biomolecules are well known.
