Osmium (IV) chloride is an inorganic chemical compound of osmium from the group of chlorides . It was first synthesized in 1909.
Extraction and presentation
Osmium (IV) chloride can also be prepared by disproportionation of osmium (III) chloride at 500 ° C in a vacuum .
Representation by reflux of thionyl chloride with osmium (VIII) oxide is also possible .
The black high-temperature form can be obtained by reacting osmium (VIII) oxide with carbon tetrachloride or osmium with thionyl chloride at 460 ° C.
The high-temperature form can also be obtained by reacting osmium with chlorine at around 700 ° C.
properties
Osmium (IV) chloride is a red to brown paramagnetic solid. It dissolves in water, hydrochloric acid and ethanol with a yellow color, but quickly decomposes in solution. The crystal structure consists of edge-sharing [OsCl 2 ] Cl 4/2 octahedra in a linear arrangement. There is also a black high-temperature form that sublimes in chlorine or vacuum to yellow vapors that arise depending on the synthesis method. At temperatures above 400 ° C, it forms osmium oxide tetrachloride OsOCl 4 with oxygen . The high-temperature form has an orthorhombic crystal structure with the space group Cmmm (space group no.65 ) , while the normal temperature form has a cubic crystal structure with the space group P 4 3 32 (space group no.212 ) or space group P 4 1 32 (space group no.213 ) owns.
