sulfure de fer : Bien que souvent employé comme synonyme de sulfure de fer(II), de formule FeS, ce terme est un générique qui désigne aussi, collectivement, tout composé formé de soufre et de fer, soit le sulfure de fer(II) FeS, le disulfure de fer FeS2 et le trisulfure de difer Fe2S3. C'est pourquoi il est préférable d'employer le terme «sulfure de fer(II)» lorsqu'il est question du composé de formule FeS. 1, record 8, French, - sulfure%20de%20fer%28II%29
