Osmium(V) chloride is aninorganic chemical compound ofosmium metal andchlorine with the chemical formulaOsCl5.[3][4]
Osmium(V) chloride can be obtained in small amounts by reactingosmium hexafluoride with excessboron trichloride:[5]
It can also be obtained by the action ofsulfur dichloride onosmium tetroxide:[2]
Osmium(V) chloride forms a black dimeric solid, isomorphic withrhenium(V) chloride.OsCl5 is sparingly soluble in non-polar solvents.[2] It is soluble inPOCl3 to form a red-brown solution, which can crystallize OsCl5·POCl3.[6]
