Abstract
The divalent oxidation state of californium (Cf) has been stabilized i n crystalline SrB4O7. The ability to generate this less-stable oxidati on state in an oxide matrix is significant. Factors promoting this sta bilization have been determined. Access to this divalent state and tho se of many other lanthanide and actinide elements via a rather straigh tforward laboratory procedure now facilitates their study and characte rization.
