Actinium sulfide, Ac2S3, is the only known binary sulfide of actinium. It has been prepared (on a 10-µg scale) by the reaction of hydrogen sulfide with actinium oxide at 1400 °C.[4][5]

Notes and references

Notes

  1. The molar mass is based on actinium-227 (t½ = 21.772(3) a; Ar = 227.027 7521(26)),[2] the most commonly encountered isotope of actinium and the one used in the original chemical studies.[3][4]
