Atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition of SnS₂, Sn₂S₃, and SnS has been achieved onto glass substrates from the reaction of SnCl₄ with H₂S at 300−545 °C. The films show good uniformity and surface coverage, adherence, and a variety of colors (black, yellow, brown, and gray) dependent on deposition temperature and film thickness. Growth rates were on the order of 1−2 μm min^-1. All the films were crystalline. For substrate temperatures of up to 500 °C single phase films with the hexagonal SnS₂ structure (a = 3.65(1) Å, c = 5.88(1) Å) were formed. At 525 °C a film of mixed composition containing predominantly orthorhombic Sn₂S₃ (a = 8.83(1) Å, b = 3.76(1) Å, c = 14.03(1) Å) was formed together with some SnS₂. At 545 °C films with orthorhombic SnS structure (a = 4.30(1) Å, b = 11.20(1) Å, c = 3.99(1) Å) were formed. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed a variety of different film …
