Meanings

1. (countable, dated, uncountable) Conversion of a substance to, or reaction of a substance with, an arsenate (“a salt or ester of arsenic acid”).
   • Tertiary arsines, usually admixed with halo- and dihaloarsines, have been obtained by the direct arsenation of suitably activated aromatic compounds, by the addition of arsenic halides to unsaturated compounds, by the reaction of arsenic halides with diazoalkanes, and by the reaction of arsenic metal with free radicals. 1970, G[eorge] O[smore] Doak, Leon D. Freedman, “Arsines”, in Organometallic Compounds of Arsenic, Antimony, and Bismuth, New York, N.Y.: Wiley-Interscience, John Wiley & Sons, →ISBN, page 146:
   • A simple process for the arsenation of phenol is described. 1919 December 15, J. C. W., “Abstracts [XX.—Organic Products; Medicinal Substances; Essential Oils.]”, in Journal of the Society of Chemical Industry, volume XXXVIII, number 23, London: W. Speaight & Sons, […] [for the Society of Chemical Industry], →ISSN, →OCLC, page 922, column 2:
   • It is known that p-arsanilic acid prepared by direct arsenation of aniline contains diphenylarsinic acid as impurity, and recently it has been pointed out that a fairly large quantity of o-arsanilic acid is present. Unless this is removed, Arsphenamine obtained from arsanilic acid will also contain o-Arsphenamine, and, since little is known of this latter substance, its presence in the drug might be injurious. 1930, Archibald Edwin Goddard, “Arylarsinic Acids (Continued)”, in J[ohn Albert] Newton Friend, editor, A Text-book of Inorganic Chemistry, volume XI (Organometallic Compounds), part II (Derivatives of Arsenic), London: Charles Griffin & Company, […], →OCLC, page 203:
   • The arsenations were carried out by the method of Bart which has been modified, particularly by Schmidt. 1938, Milton Tomlinson Bush, Arsenated Derivatives of Phenobarbital (unpublished dissertation), Ithaca, N.Y.: Cornell University, →OCLC, page 5:
