Holmium(III) sulfide explained

Holmium(III) sulfide is the sulfide of holmium, with the chemical formula of . Like other rare earth sulfides, it is used as a high-performance inorganic pigment.[1]

Preparation

Holmium(III) sulfide can be obtained by the reaction of holmium(III) oxide and hydrogen sulfide at 1325 °C.[2]

Properties

Holmium(III) sulfide has orange-yellow crystals in the monoclinic crystal system, with the space group P21/m (No. 11).[3] Under high pressure, holmium(III) sulfide can form in the cubic and orthorhombic crystal systems.[4]
