Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <italic> <bold>A new chapter in the history of arsenic</bold> </italic> has been opened up by M. Scheer et al. in their Communication on <ext-link ext-link-type="doi" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">page 10887 ff.</ext-link> Long after the discovery of grey and yellow arsenic by Albertus Magnus and Anton Bettendorff, the structure of As₄ has finally been described by X‐ray crystallographic techniques. Highly reactive yellow arsenic was embedded in a polymeric matrix, which minimizes molecular motion and therefore allows the determination of the As–As bond length.<boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg3j1p0gh0" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
