The magnetization measurements at magnetic field up to 6 T obtained fr
om newly grown hexagonal Cd1-xVxS (x approximate to 0.0004) are presen
ted. The strong anisotropy of magnetization is observed at low tempera
tures (1.6 < T < 20 K). The data are well described by the crystal fie
ld model calculations taking into account static trigonal Jahn-Teller
distortion and spin-orbit coupling.
