Abstract

The transformation of mineral bismuthinite, to Bi₂S₃ nanoparticles, via a simple two-step process is described. The reaction of bismuthinite with two aryldithoic acids gave the complexes; [Bi(S₂C(C₆H₄)-4-CH₃)₃] and [Bi(S₂C(C₆H₄)-4-OCH₃)₃]. Mild solution decomposition (120 °C) of these bismuth aryldithioates produced crystalline Bi₂S₃ nanorods.
