Crystalline tungsten disulfide (WS<sub>2sub>) has been prepared from the reaction of bis(cyclopentadienyl)tungsten dihydride with sulfur at room temperature and ambient pressure in organic solvents. WS<sub>2sub> was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, resonance Raman spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray absorption spectroscopy, and the resulting WS<sub>2sub> is highly crystalline by X-ray diffraction. The low-temperature synthesis is hypothesized to be a result of highly mobile surface W–Cp groups that are able to facilitate crystallization.
