In chemistry, thioborate refers to a large family of compounds with boron-sulfur bonds. They are colorless solids that are highly sensitive toward hydrolysis, reflecting their tendency to form boron oxides.

Binary boron sulfides

A prominent boron sulfide is B2S3. According to X-ray crystallography, this material is polymeric, with 3-coordinate B and 2-coordinate S. It features four- and six-membered rings. Two sulfur-rich phases are also known, polymeric BS2)n and molecular BS2)8. The latter two feature some S-S bonds.

Tertiary phases

The simplest members from a structural perspective are derivatives of trigonal planar [BS3], exemplified by Li3BS3. Other motifs include the following anions: B2S4] and B3S6], which exist as alkali metal salts.
