The magnetic and electronic properties of CeOInS2 and their influence on phase transition were analyzed in this study. High-temperature XRD measurements of CeOInS2 revealed that orthorhombic CeOInS2 transformed into tetragonal CeOInS2 at a high temperature of 636 K. The transport properties of CeOInS2 showed semiconducting behavior, with a larger temperature dependence of electronic resistivity in the tetragonal phase compared to that in the orthorhombic phase. Unlike structurally similar Ce(O,F)BiS2 superconductors that show long-range magnetic ordering, CeOInS2 neither exhibited superconductive transition nor long-range magnetic ordering at temperatures between 2 and 300 K.
