Barium sulfide is the inorganic compound with the formula BaS. BaS is the barium compound produced on the largest scale.[1] It is an important precursor to other barium compounds including BaCO3 and the pigment lithopone, ZnS/BaSO4.[2] Like other chalcogenides of the alkaline earth metals, BaS is a short wavelength emitter for electronic displays.[3] It is colorless, although like many sulfides, it is commonly obtained in impure colored forms.

Discovery

BaS was prepared by the Italian alchemist Vincentius (or Vincentinus) Casciarolus (or Casciorolus, 1571–1624) via the thermo-chemical reduction of BaSO4 (available as the mineral barite).[4] It is currently manufactured by an improved version of Casciarolus's process using coke in place of flour and charcoal. This kind of conversion is called a carbothermic reaction:

BaSO4 + 2 C → BaS + 2 CO2

and also:

BaSO4 + 4 C → BaS + 4 CO

The basic method remains in use today. BaS dissolves in water. These aqueous solutions, when treated with sodium carbonate or carbon dioxide, give a white solid of barium carbonate, a source material for many commercial barium compounds.[5]

According to Harvey (1957),[6] in 1603, Vincenzo Cascariolo used barite, found at the bottom of Mount Paterno near Bologna, in one of his non-fruitful attempts to produce gold. After grinding and heating the mineral with charcoal under reducing conditions, he obtained a persistent luminescent material rapidly called Lapis Boloniensis, or Bolognian stone.[7][8] The phosphorescence of the material obtained by Casciarolo made it a curiosity.[9][10][11]

Preparation

A modern procedure proceeds from barium carbonate:[12]

BaS crystallizes with the NaCl structure, featuring octahedral Ba2+ and S2− centres.

The observed melting point of barium sulfide is highly sensitive to impurities.[13]

Safety

BaS is quite poisonous, as are related sulfides, such as CaS, which evolve toxic hydrogen sulfide upon contact with water.
