List of anorganic and metal free (odd) gemstone compounds
- BN Boron nitride – likely incombustible
- BP Boron phosphide – incombustible
Adding sulfur in high quantity – this time it works – well, somewhat, without total decomposition into liquids or gasses
Unlike with organic gemstone-like compounds
in the case of metal free gemstones without a lot of carbon (and nitrogen) inside, adding sulfur to the mix this time works (well, somewhat).
The resulting compounds do not become high explosives that yearn to become gasses or liquids acommpanied with a high release of energy.
Adding a sulfur into the mix in high ratio does not make the metal and carbon free gemstones unstable (decomposing to gasses) immediately
but does instead lead some quite exotic stuff crossing over to polymeric nature:
Boron sulfides:
- B2S3 Boron sulfide (wikipedia)
Phosphorus sulfides from many stable stiff highly cross-linked molecules. E.g.:
- P4S10 Phosphorus pentasulfide – interrestingly this has diamondoid structure but it's limited to one molecule
- P4S3 Phosphorus sesquisulfide
Sulfur nitrides from many (somewhat) stable structures. E.g.:
- S4N4 Tetrasulfur_tetranitride (shock sensitive)
- (SN)x Polythiazyl
Elemental sulfur:
- (S)x Elemantal sulfur in form of long chains polysulfanes
