Titanium(III) sulfide, also called dititanium trisulfide or titanium sesquisulfide, is a chemical compound with the formula Ti 2 S 3.

Contents

Preparation

Titanium(III) sulfide is obtained from titanium disulfide, TiS2, by heating at 1000 °C in a vacuum [1] or by reduction with hydrogen at high temperatures. [2] It can also be synthesized by direct combination of the elements under pressure or at 800 °C. [2]

Properties

Titanium(III) sulfide is a black powder [1] that can also be crystalline or shiny. [2] The crystal has the nickel arsenide structure (hexagonal close-packed), with a coordination number of 6 for titanium. [1]

Titanium(III) sulfide is air- and water-stable at normal temperatures and unlike titanium disulfide does not give off an odor of hydrogen sulfide.

In hot sulfuric acid, Ti2S3 first forms a blue-gray slurry and then a colorless solution, while in cold concentrated sulfuric or nitric acid it forms a green-colored solution. With hot hydrochloric acid it forms hydrogen sulfide. [2]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Titanium(II) oxide</span> Chemical compound

Titanium(II) oxide (TiO) is an inorganic chemical compound of titanium and oxygen. It can be prepared from titanium dioxide and titanium metal at 1500 °C. It is non-stoichiometric in a range TiO0.7 to TiO1.3 and this is caused by vacancies of either Ti or O in the defect rock salt structure. In pure TiO 15% of both Ti and O sites are vacant, as the vacancies allow metal-metal bonding between adjacent Ti centres. Careful annealing can cause ordering of the vacancies producing a monoclinic form which has 5 TiO units in the primitive cell that exhibits lower resistivity. A high temperature form with titanium atoms with trigonal prismatic coordination is also known. Acid solutions of TiO are stable for a short time then decompose to give hydrogen:

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Gold compounds</span>

Gold compounds are compounds by the element gold (Au). Although gold is the most noble of the noble metals, it still forms many diverse compounds. The oxidation state of gold in its compounds ranges from −1 to +5, but Au(I) and Au(III) dominate its chemistry. Au(I), referred to as the aurous ion, is the most common oxidation state with soft ligands such as thioethers, thiolates, and organophosphines. Au(I) compounds are typically linear. A good example is Au(CN)−2, which is the soluble form of gold encountered in mining. The binary gold halides, such as AuCl, form zigzag polymeric chains, again featuring linear coordination at Au. Most drugs based on gold are Au(I) derivatives.

A Polysulfane is a chemical compound of formula H2Sn, where n > 1. Polysulfanes consist of unbranched chains of sulfur atoms terminated with hydrogen atoms. Compounds containing 2 – 8 concatenated sulfur atoms have been isolated, longer chain compounds have been detected, but only in solution.. H2S2 is colourless, higher members are yellow with the colour increasing with the sulfur content. Even a trace of alkali will cause chemical decomposition, and containers need to be treated with acid to remove any traces of alkali. In the chemical literature the term polysulfanes is sometimes used for compounds containing −(S)n, e.g. organic polysulfanes R1−(S)n−R2.

The +4 oxidation state dominates titanium chemistry, but compounds in the +3 oxidation state are also numerous. Commonly, titanium adopts an octahedral coordination geometry in its complexes, but tetrahedral TiCl4 is a notable exception. Because of its high oxidation state, titanium(IV) compounds exhibit a high degree of covalent bonding.
