CommentFigure shows the first and second heating process. Sulfidation reaction starts at 360�Ž, and continues till 790�Ž. During this stage MnP-type VS is formed over the range of 360-470�Ž, followed by the phase transition from MnP-type to NiAs-type VS at 506�Ž.
The enthalpy of formation�@Product is the hexagonal
VS.
The enthalpy of formation becomes ĢHf=32Kcal/mol.
