Sonochemistry: C3S2 originated by ultrasounding carbondisulfide
Pure carbondisulfide was treated with ultrasound of a frequency of 20 kHz. Consequently small amounts of C3S2, S6, S7, and S8 were obtained, which could be seperated gas-chromatographically and detected by mass spectroscopy. The yields were approximately proportional to the period of influence. Johann Ambrosius Barth 1996.

The formation of 1,2-propadiene-1,3-dithione (carbon subsulfide) from flash vacuum pyrolysis of 1,2-dithiole-3-thiones
1,2-Propadiene-1,3-dithione (carbon subsulfide) has been obtained by flash vacuum pyrolysis of alkylthio substituted 1,2-dithiole-3-thiones in the temperature range 800-1000°C. The dithione was isolated and characterized in an argon matrix at 10 K.

Production and reactions of triplet CS: Matrix infrared and ultraviolet spectra of C2S2
Matrix infrared and visible-ultravioiet absorption spectroscopy and ab initio electronic structure calculations have been used to characterize the reaction products from a Tesla coil Ar/CS2 discharge. The discharge is an excellent source of CS, which reacts with other molecules to form the major C3S2 product and the transient C2S2 species. The spectra of discharged mixed isotopic samples Ar/12CS2/13CS2 and Ar/C32S2/C34S2 exhibit triplet patterns in the CS antisymmetric stretching region, which unambiguously identifies the new C2S2 molecule with two equivalent CS subgroups. The magnitudes of the 12,13 C and 32,34S isotopic shifts further characterize the diatomic CS subgroup nature of C2S2. Another product contains two equivalent CS subgroups interacting with inequivalent S atom(s). The formation of C2S2 (3∑) from the simple CS2 discharge requires triplet CS. Evidence was also obtained for other transient cumulene species.
