Two new ternary barium chromium sulfides, BaCr 4 S 7 and Ba 2 Cr 5 S 10 , were synthesized by reactions of barium sulfide, sulfur, and chromium metal under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions. Single crystals of BaCr 4 S 7 were obtained from a starting mixture with a molar ratio of Ba:Cr:S = 2:5:10 after reacting at 1200 C and under a pressure of 5 GPa. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2 1 =c (No. 14) with a ¼ 6:739ð4Þ Å , b ¼ 22:665ð9Þ Å , c ¼ , V ¼ 683:1ð9Þ Å 3 , and Z ¼ 2. The structure is composed of CrS 2 sheets and the wall-shaped subunits, like as in BaCr 4 S 7 , but the subunits do not connect the adjacent CrS 2 sheets. It has a two-dimensional structure, and Ba atoms are situated in interlayer regions.
