Osmium pentacarbonyl is the organoosmium compound with the formula Os(CO)5. It is the simplest isolatable carbonyl complex of osmium. Osmium pentacarbonyl is a colorless volatile liquid that is obtained by treating solid triosmium dodecacarbonyl under 200 atmospheres of carbon monoxide at 280-290 °C. In contrast, also at 200 atm of CO, solid Ru3(CO)12 converts to Ru(CO)5 at milder temperature of 160 °C.[1]
Samples of Os(CO)5 convert back to the trioosmium cluster upon heating to 80 °C. The analogous conversion of Ru(CO)5 back to Ru3(CO)12 occurs at room temperature.[1] Chlorination of the pentacarbonyl gives a cationic pentacarbonyl complex:[1]
Upon UV irradiation, hexane solutions of the pentacarbonyl react with ethylene to give mono-, di-, and trisubstituted derivatives:[3]
