  2. Osmium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osmium

    Only two osmium compounds have major applications: osmium tetroxide for staining tissue in electron microscopy and for the oxidation of alkenes in organic synthesis, and the non-volatile osmates for organic oxidation reactions. [35] Osmium pentafluoride (OsF 5) is known, but osmium trifluoride (OsF 3) has not yet been synthesized. The lower ...

    Osmium dioxide is another known oxide of osmium, which 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. [18] [19] It does not dissolve in water, but is attacked by dilute hydrochloric acid. [20] [21] The crystals have rutile structure. [22]

  4. Osmium tetroxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osmium_tetroxide

    The osmium of OsO 4 has an oxidation number of VIII; however, the metal does not possess a corresponding 8+ charge as the bonding in the compound is largely covalent in character (the ionization energy required to produce a formal 8+ charge also far exceeds the energies available in normal chemical reactions). The osmium atom exhibits double ...

  5. Dihydroxylation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dihydroxylation

    A second benzoate anion reacts with the intermediate to produce the anti-substituted dibenzoate product, which can then undergo hydrolysis to yield trans-diols. [21] The Prevost reaction mechanism. The Woodward modification of the Prévost reaction yields cis-diols. Acetate anion reacts with the cyclic iodinium ion to yield an oxonium ion ...

  6. Ionized-air glow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionized-air_glow

    When energy is deposited in air, the air molecules become excited. As air is composed primarily of nitrogen and oxygen, excited N 2 and O 2 molecules are produced. These can react with other molecules, forming mainly ozone and nitrogen(II) oxide. Water vapor, when present, may also play a role; its presence is characterized by the hydrogen ...

  7. Haber process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haber_process

    Although atmospheric nitrogen (N 2) is abundant, comprising ~78% of the air, it is exceptionally stable and does not readily react with other chemicals. Haber, with his assistant Robert Le Rossignol [citation needed], developed the high-pressure devices and catalysts needed to demonstrate the Haber process at a laboratory scale.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_8_element

    Group 8 is a group (column) of chemical elements in the periodic table.It consists of iron (Fe), ruthenium (Ru), osmium (Os) and hassium (Hs). [1] " Group 8" is the modern standard designation for this group, adopted by the IUPAC in 1990. [1]
