Tungsten trisulfide is an inorganic compound of tungsten and sulfur with the chemical formula WS3.[1][2] The compound looks like chocolate-brown powder.[3][4]

Synthesis

  1. Bubbling hydrogen sulfide through hot acidified solution of tungstenates.[5]
  2. Reaction of tungsten disulfide and elemental sulfur on heating:[6]
  3. Precipitates upon acidification of thiotungstate solutions:[5]

Physical properties

Slightly soluble in cold water and forms colloidal solution in hot water.

Soluble in alkali metal carbonates and alkali metal hydroxides.[3]

Chemical properties

Tungsten trisulfide can be decomposed by heating into tungsten disulfide and elemental sulfur:

Reacts with sulfide solutions:

Reduced by hydrogen:
