Curium(III) fluoride or curium trifluoride is the chemical compound composed of curium and fluorine with the formula CmF3.[3] It is a white, nearly insoluble salt that has the same crystal structure as LaF3. It precipitates as a hydrate when fluoride ions are added to a weakly acidic Cm(III) solution; alternatively it can be synthesized by reacting hydrofluoric acid with Cm(OH)3. The anhydrous form is then obtained by desiccation or by treatment with hydrogen fluoride gas.[1]
Preparation
[edit]Curium fluoride can be prepared by in the reaction of curium with fluorine ions in an aqueous solution under weakly acidic conditions:
Another possible preparation is the reaction of curium hydroxide with hydrofluoric acid, which also produces a hydrate of Curium fluoride.[4]
