- This structure was found by first-principles electronic structure calculations and is predicted to be the stable structure of H2S for pressures $> 140 GPa. At 160 GPa it is predicted to be a conventional superconductor with an approximate transition temperature of 80 K, however it is unlikely that this is the crystal structure of the 190 K superconductor, which is likely the A3B_cI8_229_b_a phase of H3S (Bernstein, 2015). The data presented here was computed at 170 GPa.
