The two faces of curium: The first curium borate has been prepared showing a complex structure with coordination environments for CmIII that are found in both PuIII and AmIII borates (see picture). Time-resolved laser-induced photoluminescence studies as well as X-ray diffraction experiments show two distinct CmIII sites with different coordination environments.
