Gadolinium monosulfide is a binary inorganic compound of gadolinium and sulfur with the chemical formula GdS.




Synthesis


Heating 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:

Gd2O3 + 2Gd2S3 + 3C → 6GdS + 3CO




Physical properties


Gadolinium monosulfide forms crystals of cubic system, space group Fm4m, unit cell parameter a = 0.5574 nm, Z = 4, isomorphous with NaCl.
GdS melts congruently at 2300 °C.
