Vanadium trisulfate is prepared by the reduction of V2O5 in sulfuric acid with elemental sulfur. When heated in vacuum at or slightly below 410º, it decomposes into VOSO4 and SO2. Vanadium trisulfate is stable in dry air but upon exposure to moist air for several weeks forms a green hydrate form. Vanadium trisulfate is a powerful reducing agent.
