Diammonium hexachloroosmate

Description:

Diammonium hexachloroosmate is an inorganic compound with the formula (NH4)2[OsCl6]. It is characterized by its coordination complex structure, where osmium is at the center, surrounded by six chloride ions in an octahedral geometry. The presence of two ammonium ions indicates that it is a salt, which contributes to its solubility in water. This compound is typically encountered as a dark-colored solid and is known for its use in various chemical applications, including catalysis and as a precursor in osmium chemistry. The osmium center in this compound is in a +4 oxidation state, which is significant for its reactivity and stability. Diammonium hexachloroosmate can be synthesized through the reaction of osmium tetrachloride with ammonium chloride in an appropriate solvent. It is important to handle this compound with care due to the toxicity associated with osmium and its compounds. Overall, diammonium hexachloroosmate serves as an important compound in coordination chemistry and materials science.
