Germanium disulfide or Germanium(IV) sulfide is the inorganic compound with the formula GeS2. It is a white high-melting crystalline solid.[1][2] The compound is a 3-dimensional polymer,[3][4] in contrast to silicon disulfide, which is a one-dimensional polymer. The Ge-S distance is 2.19 Å.[3]

Isolation, production, reactions

Germanium disulfide was first found in samples of argyrodite. The fact that germanium sulfide does not dissolve in aqueous acid facilitated its isolation.[5]

Germanium disulfide is produced by treating a solution of germanium tetrachloride in a concentrated hydrochloric acid solution with hydrogen sulfide. It precipitates as a white solid.[6]

It is insoluble in water, it dissolves in aqueous solutions of sodium sulfide owing to the formation of thiogermanates:

GeS2 + Na2S → Na2GeS3

Natural occurrence

Natural GeS2 is restricted to fumaroles of some burning coal-mining waste heaps.[7]
