Infobox references

Californium tetrafluoride is a binary inorganic compoundofcalifornium 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
