Technology Process of Osmium tetrachloride

There total 2 articles about Osmium tetrachloride which guide to synthetic route it. The literature collected by LookChem mainly comes from the sharing of users and the free literature resources found by Internet computing technology. We keep the original model of the professional version of literature to make it easier and faster for users to retrieve and use. At the same time, we analyze and calculate the most feasible synthesis route with the highest yield for your reference as below:

synthetic route:

Reference yield:

osmium → osmium(III) chloride (13444-93-4) + osmium tetrachloride (10026-01-4)

Guidance literature:

With Cl₂;

Reference yield:

osmium + chlorine (7782-50-5) → osmium(III) chloride (13444-93-4) + osmium tetrachloride (10026-01-4)

Guidance literature:

In neat (no solvent); Os is heated in a stream of Cl2 (1050 °C, porcelain tube); the subliming chlorides are rapidly cooled using a platinum condenser;; chem. anal.;;

Reference yield:

osmium tetrachloride (10026-01-4) → osmium(III) chloride (13444-93-4)

Guidance literature:

With Cl₂; heating of OsCl4 to 470°C at 100 to 150 Torr;

upstream raw materials:

chlorine

Downstream raw materials:
