Hydrogen sulfides have recently received a great deal of interest due to the record high superconducting temperatures of up to 203 K observed on strong compression of dihydrogen sulfide ( ). A joint theoretical and experimental study is presented in this paper in which decomposition products and structures of compressed are characterized, and their superconducting properties are calculated. In addition to the experimentally known and phases, our first-principles structure searches have identified several energetically competitive stoichiometries that have not been reported previously: , and . In particular, is predicted to be thermodynamically stable within a large pressure range of 25–113 GPa. High-pressure x-ray diffraction measurements confirm the presence of and through decomposition of that emerges at 27 GPa and coexists with residual , at least up to the highest pressure of 140 GPa studied in our experiments. Electron-phonon coupling calculations show that has a small of below 2 K, and that is mainly responsible for the observed superconductivity of samples prepared at low temperature ( K).
