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