Magnetic susceptibility measurements have been made on multimicrogram quantities of 243AmF3, 248CmF4, 248CmO2, and 248CmBaO3 samples (nominally the 5f6 electronic configuration) and on 248Cm2O3, 248CmF3, 249BkF4, and 249BkO2 (nominally the 5f7 electronic configuration) in the temperature range 4.2-300 K and in magnetic fields up to 1650 G. The experimentally determined effective magnetic moments and the Curie-Weiss constants for these compounds are presented. The deviation of the moments for the 5f6 compounds from those expected from classic theory is discussed in terms of low-lying excited states, chemical composition, crystal-field perturbations, and realistic electronic structure.
