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.
