Abstract GdI 2 is a layered d 1 compound which is isostructural with and nominally isoelectronic to the superconductors 2H–TaS 2 and 2H–NbSe 2 . GdI 2 orders ferromagnetically at 276(2) K and displays large negative magnetoresistance ∼70% at 7 T close to room temperature. At 10 K the saturation magnetization is 7.33(5) μ B in good agreement with the value predicted from spin polarized band structure calculations.
