As far as possible and customary, SI units are used. Unless otherwise noted, the data given apply to standard conditions .

Californium (III) oxychloride (CfOCl) was prepared by hydrolysis of the hydrate of californium (III) chloride (CfCl 3 ) at 280-320 ° C. It has a tetragonal structure (PbFCl type) with a  = 395.6 ± 0.2 pm and c  = 666.2 ± 0.9 pm.

The enthalpy of solution of CfOCl in 1.022 M hydrochloric acid (HCl) was measured calorimetrically according to the equation: CfOCl (cr) + 2 HCl (sln) → CfCl 3 (sln) + H 2 O (sln) . The standard enthalpy of formationf H 0 ) at 298 K was calculated to be −920 ± 7 kJ mol −1 .

safety instructions

Classifications according to the CLP regulation are not available because they only include chemical hazard and play a completely subordinate role compared to the hazards based on radioactivity . The latter also only applies if the amount of substance involved is relevant.

Individual evidence

  1. The hazards emanating from radioactivity do not belong to the properties to be classified according to the GHS labeling. With regard to other hazards, this substance has either not yet been classified or a reliable and citable source has not yet been found.
