Barium sulfide is the inorganic compound with the formula BaS. BaS is the barium compound produced on the largest scale.[3] It is an important precursor to other barium compounds including BaCO3 and the pigment lithopone, ZnS/BaSO4.[4] Like other chalcogenides of the alkaline earth metals, BaS is a short wavelength emitter for electronic displays.[5] It is colorless, although like many sulfides, it is commonly obtained in impure colored forms.
