Californium tetrafluoride is a binary inorganic compound of californium and fluorine with the formula CfF4.[1]
Synthesis
[edit]The compound can be prepared from Cf2O3 and F2 at 400 °C.[2]
- 2Cf2O3 + 8F2 → 4CfF4 + 3O2
Also, β-decay of BkF4.
Physical properties
[edit]Californium tetrafluoride is a light green solid. Possesses a monoclinic UF4 structure.[3][2]
Chemical properties
[edit]CfF4 decomposes to californium trifluoride when heated:
- 2CfF4 → 2CfF3 + 2F
