Sodium arsenide, also known as trisodium arsenide, is the inorganic compound of sodium and arsenic with the formula Na₃As.^[1] It is a dark colored solid that degrades upon contact with water or air. It is prepared by the reaction of the elements at 200–400 °C.^[2] The compound is mainly of interest as exhibiting an archetypal structure. The normal pressure "sodium arsenide" phase is adopted by many alkali metal pnictides. At 3.6 gigapascals, Na₃As adopts the Li₃Bi structure, which is another archetypal structure.^[3] Sodium arsenide is a crystalline solid used as a semiconductor and in photo optic applications. Its IUPAC name is disodioarsanylsodium.
