Preparation
editChromium(III) sulfide can be prepared through the reaction of a stoichiometric mixture of the elements at 1000 °C[2]
It is a solid that is insoluble in water. According to X-ray crystallography, its structure is a combination of that of nickel arsenide (1:1 stoichiometry) and Cd(OH)2 (1:2 stoichiometry). Some metal-metal bonding is indicated by the short Cr-Cr distance of 2.78 Å.[3]
