Ammonium tetrathiovanadate is a chemical compound with the chemical formula (NH4)3VS4.[1][2]

Physical properties

[edit]

Ammonium tetrathiovanadate forms violet crystals of orthorhombic symmetry.[3]

Chemical properties

[edit]

Like other ammonium salts, ammonium tetrathiovanadate decomposes when heated:[4]

(NH4)3VS4 → 6NH3↑ + 3H2S↑ + V2S5
V2S5 → V2S3 + 2S
