methylarsino
Methylarsino refers to a class of organoarsenic compounds characterized by the presence of one or more methyl groups (–CH₃) bonded to an arsenic atom. These compounds are part of a broader category of organoarsenicals, which are organic derivatives of arsenic. Methylarsino compounds are notable for their role in the biogeochemical cycling of arsenic, particularly in natural environments like soils, sediments, and aquatic systems.
In biological systems, methylarsino groups are often associated with arsenic methylation, a process primarily mediated by
Methylarsino compounds have been studied extensively due to their environmental and health implications. For instance, dimethylarsino
The chemical structure of methylarsino compounds typically involves arsenic bonded to carbon atoms, often in a
Understanding methylarsino compounds is crucial for assessing arsenic contamination, developing remediation strategies, and evaluating their ecological
