Germanium monosulfide

Germanium monosulfide or Germanium(II) sulfide is the chemical compound with the formula GeS. It is a chalcogenide glass and a semiconductor.[1] Germanium sulfide is described as a red-brown powder or black crystals.[2] Germanium(II) sulfide when dry is stable in air, hydrolyzes slowly in moist air but rapidly reacts in water forming Ge(OH)2 and then GeO.[3] It is one of a few sulfides that can be sublimed under vacuum without decomposition.[4]

Preparation

First made by Winkler by reducing GeS2 with Ge.[3] Other methods include reduction in a stream of H2 gas,[3] or with an excess of H3PO2 followed by vacuum sublimation.[2]

Structure

It has a layer structure similar to that of black phosphorus.[2] The Ge-S distances range from 247 to 300 pm.[3] Molecular GeS in the gas phase has a Ge-S bond length of 201.21 pm.[5]

gollark: What are the specs of the server, anyway?
gollark: "tested" how?
gollark: ?intro Hi, I am gollark/osmarks and I'm interested in the future of note-taking software, and this looks interesting.
gollark: qntm (writer of Ra and Fine Structure which are pretty good too)'s Antimemetics Division is an SCP Foundation thing dealing with "antimemes". The page conveniently describes an antimeme as "an idea with self-censoring properties; an idea which, by its intrinsic nature, discourages or prevents people from spreading it". Probably not for you if you don't really like the SCP horror-ish stuff, but good if you're into that.http://www.scp-wiki.net/antimemetics-division-hub
