The electronic spectrum of [SbS4](3-) in 10(-3) M NaOH displays an abs
orption band at lambda(max) = 285 nm which is assigned to a ligand-to-
metal charge transfer (LMCT) transition. Upon LMCT excitation [SbS4](3
-) undergoes an intramolecular redox reaction with the formation of [S
bS3](3-) and elemental sulfur (phi = 0.11 at lambda(irr) = 333 nm).
