Osmium diammine hydroxide[3] is an inorganic chemical compound with the formula [OsO(NH3)2](OH)2. It exists as a brown powder that is insoluble in water.
Synthesis
Osmium diammine hydroxide can be produced by reducing osmium tetroxide with aqueous ammonia at 50°C.[4] It can also be produced by treating hexachloroosmates with ammonia.[5]
Properties
Osmium diammine hydroxide decomposes explosively when heated in air, releasing nitrogen gas.[6] It dissolves in acids to produce corresponding salts, such as osmium diammine chloride, [OsO(NH3)2]Cl2.[7]
Reactions
When heated to boiling in concentrated alkali hydroxide solutions, osmium diammine hydroxide releases ammonia and decomposes to osmium dioxide.[8]
- [OsO(NH3)2](OH)2 → OsO2 + 2NH3 + H2O
