Osmium dioxide is an inorganic compound with the formula Template:Chem2. It exists as brown to black crystalline powder, but single crystals are golden and exhibit metallic conductivity. The compound crystallizes in the rutile structural motif, i.e. the connectivity is very similar to that in the mineral rutile.

Preparation

Template:Chem2 can be obtained by the reaction of osmium with a variety of oxidizing agents, including, sodium chlorate, osmium tetroxide, and nitric oxide at about 600 °C.[1][2] Using chemical transport, one can obtain large crystals of Template:Chem2, sized up to 7x5x3 mm3. Single crystals show metallic resistivity of ~15 μΩ cm. A typical transport agent is Template:Chem/link via the reversible formation of volatile Template:Chem2:[3]

Template:Chem2

It can also be prepared by reduction of an osmate or the tetroxide with alcohol, or by reacting various tetravalent osmium compounds with strong alkali.

Reactions

Osmium dioxide does not dissolve in water, but it can be dissolved by strong acids such as hydrochloric acid.[4][5] The crystals have rutile structure.[6] Unlike osmium tetroxide, Template:Chem2 is not toxic.[7]
