The reaction of ²⁴⁸CmCl₃ with excess 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid (DPA) under mild solvothermal conditions results in crystallization of the tris-chelate complex Cm(HDPA)₃·H₂O. Approximately half of the curium remains in solution at the end of this process, and evaporation of the mother liquor results in crystallization of the bis-chelate complex [Cm(HDPA)- (H₂DPA)(H₂O)₂Cl]Cl·2H₂O. ²⁴⁸Cm is the daughter of the α decay of ²⁵²Cf and is extracted in high purity from this parent. However, trace amounts of ^249,250,251Cf are still present in all samples of ²⁴⁸Cm. During the crystallization of Cm(HDPA)₃·H₂O and [Cm(HDPA)(H₂DPA)(H₂O)₂Cl]Cl·2H₂O, californium(III) spontaneously separates itself from the curium complexes and is found doped within crystals of DPA in the form of Cf(HDPA)₃. These results add to the growing body of evidence that the chemistry of californium is fundamentally different from that of earlier actinides.
