Stoichiometric CeCuOS--a well-behaved Ce(III) layered oxysulfide.
The reported anomalously small cell volume and magnetic moment of the layered oxysulfide CeCuOS are apparently the results of copper deficiency arising from exposure to ambient moist air; the stoichiometric compound does exist and is a well-behaved Ce(III) compound.
