- Source: Berkelium(III) fluoride
Berkelium(III) fluoride is a binary inorganic compound of berkelium and fluorine with the chemical formula BkF3.
Synthesis
The compound can be prepared by treating Bk2O3 with a gaseous mixture of H2 and HF at 600 °C.
Physical properties
Berkelium trifluoride forms a yellow-green solid with two structures. At low temperature, it is orthorhombic (YF3 structure), with lattice parameters a = 670 pm, b = 709 pm, and c = 441 pm. At high temperature, it is trigonal (LaF3 structure), with lattice parameters a = 697 pm and c = 714 pm. The transition temperature of BkF3 is between 350 and 600 °C.
Chemical properties
Berkelium trifluoride is reduced by lithium to obtain metallic berkelium:
BkF3 + 3Li → Bk + 3LiF
