Curium (IV) fluoride is a fluoride of the artificial element and actinide curium with the empirical formula CmF 4 . In this salt , curium occurs in the +4 oxidation state. Since all isotopes of curium are only artificially produced, it has no natural occurrence.

presentation

The synthesis of curium (IV) fluoride takes place via the oxidative fluorination of curium (III) fluoride .

properties

Curium (IV) fluoride is a brown ionic compound consisting of Cm 4+ and F - ions. It crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system in the space group C 2 / c (space group no. 15) with the lattice parameters a  = 1250  pm , b  = 1049 pm and c  = 818 pm and twelve formula units per unit cell . Its crystal structure is isotype with uranium (IV) fluoride . Template: room group / 15

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.
