The structure of the potassium hydrosulfide resembles that of potassium chloride. Their structure is however complicated by the non-spherical symmetry of the SH− anions, but these tumble rapidly in the solid.

The addition of sulfur gives dipotassium pentasulfide.

Synthesis

It is prepared by neutralizing aqueous KOH with H2S.
