Synthesis
editHeating stoichiometric amounts of pure substances in an inert atmosphere:
- Gd + S → GdS
Also a reaction of gadolinium(III) oxide and gadolinium sesquisulphide can make it:[3]
- Gd2O3 + 2Gd2S3 + 3C → 6GdS + 3CO
Physical properties
editGadolinium monosulfide forms crystals of cubic system, space group Fm4m, unit cell parameter a = 0.5574 nm, Z = 4, isomorphous with NaCl.[4][5]
GdS melts congruently at 2300 °C.
