Arsenic trisulfide, As2S3, is the commonest sulfide of arsenic. It occurs naturally as the mineral orpiment, which was an important yellow-orange pigment.

In the solid state, arsenic trisulfide has a layer structure analogous to that of arsenic trioxide, with the arsenic atoms having pyramidal coodination of three sulfur atoms at 224 pm with S–As–S = 99°.[2][5] It readily sublimes, even below the melting point, and exists as As4S6 molecules in the gas phase.[5]
