Frontispiece: Contemporary Chemistry of Berkelium and Californium.

Highlights from the article: Keywords: actinides; berkelium complexation; californium complexation; coordination chemistry B Our understanding of the chemistry of berkelium and californium has remained elusive b because of the dearth of modern structural and spectroscopic data as well as the absence of high-level quantum mechanical theory that captures relativistic effects. Coordination chemistry, actinides, berkelium complexation, californium complexation.
