Californium is a synthetic actinide and one of the heaviest elements obtainable in microgram to milligram quantities. Its chemistry is dominated by the +3 oxidation state and resembles that of other late actinides and lanthanides, though +2 and +4 chemistry is also known under suitable conditions. The isotope ²⁵²Cf is notable for intense spontaneous fission neutron emission, making the element technologically significant despite its extreme scarcity.
Californium does not occur naturally in the Earth’s crust. It was first synthesized in 1950 by Glenn T. Seaborg and his team at the University of California using the reaction 242Cm (4He, n) 245Cf. The element was named for the state where it was first synthesized.
Californium is the second half of the actinide series where its f electrons are further removed or shielded from the valence electrons that those of the lighter actinides. Thus californium resembles the behavior of the lanthanide elements exhibiting divalent, trivalent, and tetravalent oxidation states in solid-state compounds. In solution, the trivalent state is the most stable however the divalent, tetravalent and a possible pentavalent state have been reported. The existence of Cf(V) is questionable.
Californium metal is fairly reactive. On standing in air or moisture, small pieces or foils of Cf metal quickly form an oxide but not in a violent reaction. Two methods have been successful for preparation of Cf metal: reduction of californium trifluoride with lithium metal at elevated temperature and using thorium or lanthanum metal to reduce californium oxide (R. G. Haire, 1982). The largest amount of metal prepared at one time was about 10 milligrams. The metal was eventually determined to be trivalent with a room-temperature double hexagonal close-packed structure. A face centered cubic structure has also been observed for californium metal at high temperature.
Some alloys and numerous solid-state compounds have been prepared with californium in spite of the fact that only small amounts of the element are available at any one time. Californium compounds include oxides, halides, oxyhalides, pnictides, chacogenides hydrides, tellurides, oxysulfate and oxysulfide to name a few. Some organo-californium coumpounds have also been prepared.
Because californium is a very efficient source of neutrons, many new uses are expected for it. It has already found use in neutron moisture gauges and in well-logging (the determination of water and oil-bearing layers). It is also being used as a portable neutron source for discovery of metals such as gold or silver by on-the-spot activation analysis. 252Cf is now being offered for sale by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory at a cost of $10/mg. As of May, 1975, more than 63 mg have been produced and sold. It has been suggested that californium may be produced in certain stellar explosions, called supernovae, for the radioactive decay of 254Cf (55-day half-life) agrees with the characteristics of the light curves of such explosions observed through telescopes. This suggestion, however, is questioned.

This element reviewed and Updated by Dr. David Hobart, 2011
Californium was first produced by Stanley G. Thompson, Glenn T. Seaborg, Kenneth Street, Jr. and Albert Ghiorso working at the University of California, Berkeley, in 1950. They bombarded atoms of curium-242 with helium ions using a device known as a cyclotron. This produced atoms of californium-245, an isotope with a half-life of about 45 minutes, and a free neutron.
Californium, the sixth transuranium element to be discovered, was produced by Thompson, Street, Ghioirso, and Seaborg in 1950 by bombarding microgram quantities of 242Cm with 35 MeV helium ions in the Berkeley 60-inch cyclotronproducing 244Cf. Since the lanthanide homologue of californium (dysprosium) has a stable trivalent state in aqueous solution it was anticipated that californium would exhibit a stable trivalent state as well. This accurate prediction allowed for the successful chromatographic separation of californium from other actinides and for its unequivocal identification.
Metallic californium has been prepared only in very small quantities. It is generally described as a silvery, radioactive actinide metal, but ordinary bulk properties are limited by sample size, self-irradiation, heat generation, and isotope composition.
Californium has no ordinary structural or consumer use. The main practical isotope is ²⁵²Cf, used as a compact neutron source for reactor start-up sources, neutron activation analysis, detector calibration, and some industrial gauges. It has also been used in neutron radiography and in specialized searches for fissile material. Medical use has been limited and specialized, including historical neutron brachytherapy research; it is not a routine medical material. Other isotopes are chiefly research targets or intermediates in actinide studies.
Californium-252, an isotope with a half-life of about 2.6 years, is a very strong neutron source. One microgram (0.000001 grams) of californium-252 produces 170,000,000 neutrons per minute. It is being used as a neutron source to identify gold and silver ores through a technique known as neutron activation. It is also being used in devices known as neutron moisture gauges that are used to find water and oil bearing layers in oil wells.
A few compounds of californium have been produced and studied. They include: californium oxide (CfO3), californium trichloride (CfCl3) and californium oxychloride (CfOCl).
Californium's most stable isotope, californium-251, has a half-life of about 898 years. It decays into curium-247 through alpha decay or decays through spontaneous fission.
Isotopes in Industry
252Cf is a very active source of neutrons (2.3×106 neutrons per second per microgram) with a half-life of 2.65 years. The energy spectrum of the neutrons is very similar to that of a fission reactor and small amounts of 252Cf provide an ideal portable source for low neutron flux applications [75] J. Peterson, M.

Californium chemistry is best developed for Cf³⁺ in aqueous solution and solid salts. Representative compounds include californium(III) oxide, Cf₂O₃, californium(III) chloride, CfCl₃, and californium(III) fluoride, CfF₃. The +4 state is less stable but occurs in compounds such as californium(IV) oxide, CfO₂, under oxidizing conditions. Divalent californium is known in some solid-state and strongly reducing systems. Complexation with nitrate, chloride, fluoride, carbonate, and organic ligands is important for separation chemistry.
See more information at the Californium compound page.
All californium isotopes are radioactive, and hazards depend strongly on isotope and chemical form. ²⁵²Cf presents a severe neutron and gamma radiation hazard even in tiny amounts, while alpha-emitting isotopes are especially dangerous if inhaled or ingested. Self-heating, radiolysis, and contamination control are practical concerns. Work requires heavy shielding, remote handling, sealed sources or containment, and strict criticality and radiological controls where applicable.
Californium has no significant natural environmental cycle. Trace atoms can be formed in nuclear explosions or possibly in intense neutron-flux environments, but environmental inventories are overwhelmingly anthropogenic and extremely small. In the environment it is expected to behave mainly as a trivalent actinide, binding strongly to minerals, organic matter, and fine particles rather than remaining freely mobile. Its ecological relevance is dominated by radiological toxicity, not nutrient chemistry.
Californium is not a commodity metal. It is produced by prolonged neutron irradiation of curium or heavier actinide targets in high-flux reactors, followed by demanding radiochemical separations. Supply is limited by reactor access, target availability, isotope yields, decay losses, and the difficulty of handling intense radiation. ²⁵²Cf sources are supplied in small calibrated quantities for specialized users; substitution by accelerator neutron sources or other radioisotopic sources is often considered when feasible. Recycling usually means recovery and re-encapsulation of source material rather than conventional materials recycling.
Made by bombarding curium with helium ions.
Californium is not a primordial element, because all of its isotopes are radioactive on timescales short compared with the age of Earth and the Solar System. Very neutron-rich actinides, including californium isotopes, may be produced transiently in explosive r-process events such as neutron-star mergers or rare supernova environments, but they decay away. Any extraterrestrial occurrence would be short-lived or artificial.
- ²⁵²Cf emits neutrons largely through spontaneous fission, not by an external accelerator.
- Only very small californium samples are needed for intense neutron-source applications.
- The element was first identified among products from irradiating curium with alpha particles.
- Californium separations are complicated by its chemical similarity to neighboring trivalent actinides.
- Self-irradiation can damage californium solids and alter measured material properties.

Twenty isotopes ranging in atomic mass from 237 to 256 have been reported for californium however the existence of the isotopes with mass of 237 and 238 has not yet been confirmed. The isotope 249Cf results from the beta decay of 249Bk while the heavier isotopes are produced by intense neutron irradiation by nuclear reactors or in thermonuclear explosions. The existence of the isotopes 249Cf, 250Cf, 251Cf, and 252Cf makes it feasible to isolate californium in weighable amounts so that its physicochemical properties can be investigated with macroscopic quantities. The first well-defined structure of a californium compound was the oxychloride by Cunningham and Wallmann a decade after discovery of the element. Microgram quantities of californium have been produced in the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in Tennessee and in Dimitrovgrad high-flux reactors in Russia. Californium-252 is a very strong neutron emitter. One microgram releases 170 million neutrons per minute, which presents biological hazards. Cf-252 also decays by energetic alpha emission (half-life 2.65 years, 6.1 MeV). Proper safeguards should be used when handling californium isotopes.
