Thorium(IV) sulfide

(Redirected from ThS2)

Thorium(IV) sulfide (ThS2) is an inorganic chemical compound composed of one thorium atom ionically bonded to two atoms of sulfur. This salt is dark brown and has a melting point of 1905 °C. ThS2 adopts the same orthorhombic lattice structure as PbCl2.[1][2][3]
