Boron sulfide is the chemical compound with the formulaB2S3. It is a white, moisture-sensitive solid. It has a polymeric structure. The material has been of interest as a component of "high-tech" glasses and as a reagent for preparing organosulfur compounds.

Reactions[edit]

Like the sulfides of silicon and phosphorus, B2S3 reacts with traces of water, including atmospheric moisture to release H2S. This hydrolysis is described by the following idealized equation:

B2S3 + 3 H2O → B2O3 + 3 H2S

B2S3 readily forms glasses when blended with other sulfides such as P4S10. Such glasses do not absorb mid-frequencies of Infra-red energy relative to conventional borosilicate glasses. Some of these ternary phases that are fast ion conductors.[2]

B2S3 converts ketones into the corresponding thiones. For example, the conversion of benzophenone to its thione proceeds as follows:

B2S3 + 3 (C6H5)2C=O → B2O3 + 3 (C6H5)2C=S

In practice, B2S3 would be used in excess.[3]

Synthesis[edit]

An early synthesis involved the reaction of iron and manganese borides with hydrogen sulfide at temperatures of 300 °C. The conversion is shown for the monoborides in the following idealized equation:[4]

2 FeB + 4 H2S → B2S3 + FeS + 4 H2

The first synthesis was done by Jöns Jakob Berzelius in 1824 by direct reaction of amorphous boron with sulfur vapor.[5]

2 B + 3 S → B2S3

Another synthesis was favoured by Friedrich Wöhler and Henri Etienne Sainte-Claire Deville first published in 1858, starting from boron and hydrogen sulfide.[6][7]

2 B + 3 H2S → B2S3 + 3 H2

Structure[edit]

The boron atoms in B2S3 are trigonal planar, and are arranged in B3S3 and B2S2 rings with bridging S atoms forming a layer structure with an interlayer distance of 355 pm. This is different from boron trioxide which has a three dimensional structure.[8] The molecular, monomeric, form of B2S3 has a planar V shape with the central B-S-B angle of approximately 120°.[8]
