  • Arsenic trisulfide
    Arsenic trisulfide
    Arsenic trisulfide is the inorganic compound with the formula As2S3. This bright yellow solid is a well known mineral orpiment , has been used as a pigment, and has played a role in the analysis of arsenic compounds. This chalcogenide material is a group V/VI, intrinsic p-type semiconductor and...

    , As2S3, the mineral orpiment
  • Tetraarsenic tetrasulfide, As4S4, the mineral realgar
    Realgar
    Realgar, α-As4S4, is an arsenic sulfide mineral, also known as "ruby sulphur" or "ruby of arsenic". It is a soft, sectile mineral occurring in monoclinic crystals, or in granular, compact, or powdery form, often in association with the related mineral, orpiment . It is orange-red in colour, melts...

  • Tetraarsenic trisulfide, As4S3, occurs as the minerals α- and β- dimorphite
    Dimorphite
    Dimorphite is a very rare orange-yellow chalcogenide mineral. In nature, dimorphite forms primarily by deposit in volcanic fumaroles at temperatures of 70°-80°C . Dimorphite was first discovered in a such a fumarole near Naples, Italy in 1849 by the mineralologist Arcangelo Scacchi...

  • Tetraarsenic pentasulfide, As4S5, similar structure to phosphorus pentasulfide
    Phosphorus pentasulfide
    Phosphorus pentasulfide is the inorganic compound with the formula P4S10. This yellow solid is the one of two phosphorus sulfides of commercial value...
