• Tin sulfide
• Singular molecular precursor
• Tetrathiourea tin(II) chloride
• High resolution electron microscopy and morphology

Tetrathiourea tin(II) chloride complex was used as a single molecular precursor for the synthesis of high quality tin sulfide nanoparticles with different morphologies. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy confirmed the metal to sulphur ratio as 1:1 with no impurity. The transmission electron microscopy images showed the close to spherical shapes with an average particle size of 52.86 nm. High-resolution electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis confirm the orthorhombic crystal phase with a lattice spacing of 0.29 and 0.36 nm, assigned to (101) and (120) planes.
