In this paper, the results of a comprehensive study of solid-phase equilibria in the FeS-In2S3-S system and thermodynamic properties of intermediate phases using DTA, XRD, and EMF methods are presented. Based on the experimental results and literature data, the character of solid-phase equilibria in the Fe-In-S system in the FeS-In2S3-S composition range is established. From the EMF measurements of the concentration cells of the type (−) FeS(solid) | glycerol + KCl + FeCl2 | (Fe in alloy) (+) in the 300–390 K temperature interval, the relative partial thermodynamic functions of FeS and Fe in alloys were determined. By integrating the Gibbs-Duhem equation from the obtained partial molar quantities of iron, using the thermodynamic data for In2S3, the standard Gibbs free energy of formation and the enthalpy of formation, as well as the standard entropy of the FeIn2S4 compound and solid solutions (FeS)1-x(In2S3)x (x = 0.6; 0.8; 0.9) were calculated.
