Promethium(III) sulfide is a binary inorganic compound with the chemical formulaPm2S3.
Promethium(III) sulfide can be produced by treating metallic promethium with sulfur:
Once prepared, promethium(III) sulfide can be purified bychemical vapor transport usingiodine.[1]
Promethium(III) sulfide can also be prepared by treating the sulfate withhydrogen sulfide at elevated temperatures:[2]
The compound forms garnet red crystals of theorthorhombic system, space groupI43d[3] and exists inα andβ forms.[4]
