Osmium(II) iodide is a black solid [35] produced by the reaction of osmium tetroxide and hydroiodic acid at 250 °C in nitrogen: [34] OsO 4 + HI → OsI 2 + H 2 O. This compound decomposes in contact with water. [35] Osmium(III) iodide is a black solid that is produced by heating hexaiodoosmic acid (H 2 OsI 6). [34] This compound is insoluble ...
