Osmium forms several oxofluorides, all of which are very sensitive to moisture. Purple cis-OsO 2 F 4 forms at 77 K in an anhydrous HF solution: [19] OsO 4 + 2 KrF 2 → cis-OsO 2 F 4 + 2 Kr + O 2. OsO 4 also reacts with F 2 to form yellow OsO 3 F 2: [20] 2 OsO 4 + 2 F 2 → 2 OsO 3 F 2 + O 2. OsO 4 reacts with one equivalent of [Me 4 N]F at 298 ...
Osmium(I) iodide is a metallic grey solid produced by the reaction of osmium tetroxide and hydroiodic acid heated in a water bath for 48 hours in a carbon dioxide atmosphere. It is an amorphous compound. [34] Osmium(II) iodide is a black solid [35] produced by the reaction of osmium tetroxide and hydroiodic acid at 250 °C in nitrogen: [34]

Osmium(II) iodide is the iodide of osmium with the formula OsI 2. It is a black solid [3] produced by the reaction of osmium tetroxide and hydroiodic acid at 250 °C in nitrogen: [2] OsO 4 + HI → OsI 2 + H 2 O. This compound decomposes in contact with water. [3]
Dihydroxylation is the process by which an alkene is converted into a vicinal diol.Although there are many routes to accomplish this oxidation, the most common and direct processes use a high-oxidation-state transition metal (typically osmium or manganese).
The density of osmium is slightly greater than that of iridium; the two are so similar (22.587 versus 22.562 g/cm 3 at 20 °C) that each was at one time considered to be the densest element. Only in the 1990s were measurements made accurately enough (by means of X-ray crystallography ) to be certain that osmium is the denser of the two.

The process of osmosis over a semipermeable membrane.The blue dots represent particles driving the osmotic gradient. Osmosis (/ ɒ z ˈ m oʊ s ɪ s /, US also / ɒ s-/) [1] is the spontaneous net movement or diffusion of solvent molecules through a selectively-permeable membrane from a region of high water potential (region of lower solute concentration) to a region of low water potential ...
