Osmium iodides
Osmium iodide refers to compounds of osmium with the formula OsIn. Several have been mentioned in the literature, but only the triiodide has been verified by X-ray crystallography.
Osmium(I) iodide is the iodide of osmium with the formula OsI. It 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. This compound is amorphous.
Osmium(II) iodide is the iodide of osmium with the formula OsI2. It is a black solid produced by the reaction of osmium tetroxide and hydroiodic acid at 250 °C in nitrogen:
This compound decomposes in contact with water.
Osmium(III) iodide is the iodide of osmium with the formula OsI3. This black solid is produced by heating hexaiodoosmic acid(H2OsI6). This compound is insoluble in water.
What was claimed to be osmium(IV) iodide was produced by the reaction of osmium dioxide and hydroiodic acid. However on attempted reproduction, this substance was found to be hexaiodoosmic acid H2OsI6. When heated this did not form a tetraiodo compound, and instead formed mono, di, and tri-iodo osmium compounds. The ammonium salt, (NH4)2OsI6, is known.
When potassium iodide is added to a solution containing osmium tetroxide and hydrochloric acid, a green solution of H[OsI5(H2O)] is obtained, which also contains potassium hexaiodoosmate K2OsI6 and a mixed halidoosmate of the type K2OsClxIx.
