Tin(IV) sulfide is a compound with the formula SnS2. A brown, water-insoluble solid, it is a semiconductor with band gap 2.2 eV.[5] It occurs naturally as the rare mineral berndtite.[6]

Synthesis and structure

[edit]
Fragment of the SnS2 lattice. Color code: yellow = S, gray = Sn.

The compound precipitates as a brown solid upon the addition of H

S
to solutions containing tin(IV) species. This reaction is reversed at low pH. It can also be prepared by heating finely ground Sn with excess sulfur.[7]

The compound crystallizes in the cadmium iodide motif, with the Sn(IV) situated in "octahedral holes' defined by six sulfide centers.[8]

The material reacts with sulfide salts to give a series of thiostannates with the formula [SnS

Potential uses

[edit]

Crystalline SnS

has a bronze color and is used in decorative coating[10] where it is known as mosaic gold.

Tin (IV) sulfide has various uses in electrochemistry. It serves as an anode in prototypes of lithium-ion batteries.[11] Intercalation with organometallic reagents is reversible.[12]

It has also been evaluated as a component of supercapacitors, which could be used for energy storage.[13]
