Abstract
A NEW liquid sulphide of carbon of the composition C3S2 has been isolated in a somewhat remarkable manner in the chemical laboratory of the university of Buda-Pesth, by Prof, von Lengyel, who contributes an account of it to the current Berichte. In addition to the well-known disulphide of carbon, several other substances supposed to be compounds of carbon and sulphur have from time to time been described; but as they appear to have been amorphous insoluble solids very difficult to purify, there is very little evidence of their being definite compounds. The substance now described, however, appears to be a very well characterised liquid compound of unmistakable odour and corrosive action upon the skin, and capable of being distilled under diminished pressure.
