Tin(IV) sulfide

Tin(IV) sulfide is a compound with the formula SnS
2
. The compound crystallizes in the cadmium iodide motif, with the Sn(IV) situated in "octahedral holes' defined by six sulfide centers.[5] It occurs naturally as the rare mineral berndtite.[6] It is useful as semiconductor material with band gap 2.2 eV.[7]

Reactions

The compound precipitates as a brown solid upon the addition of H
2
S
to solutions of tin(IV) species. This reaction is reversed at low pH. Crystalline SnS
2
has a bronze color and is used in decorative coating[8] where it is known as mosaic gold.

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