Osmium is a very dense, hard, blue-white platinum-group metal. It is chemically noble in compact metallic form but is notable for forming volatile and highly toxic osmium tetroxide. Natural osmium occurs with other platinum-group elements in ultramafic ores and placer deposits, chiefly as alloys and sulfide-bearing mineral assemblages. Its rarity, difficult fabrication, and toxicity of some compounds limit its use despite unusual physical and chemical properties.
The metal is lustrous, bluish white, extremely hard, and brittle even at high temperatures. It has the highest melting point and the lowest vapor pressure of the platinum group. The metal is very difficult to fabricate, but the powdered or spongy metal slowly gives off osmium tetroxide, which as a powerful oxidizing agent and has a strong smell. The tetroxide is highly toxic, and boils at 130°C.
Density measurements show osmium to be a little more dense than iridium, and osmium is often cited as the heavier element. However, calculations of the density from the space lattice, which may be more reliable than these measurements, give a density of 22.65 for iridium compared to 22.61 for osmium. According to IUPAC, because of this apparent contradiction, no decision has been made as to which is heavier.
The name derives from the Greek osme for "smell" because of the sharp odor of its volatile oxide. Both osmium and iridium were discovered simultaneously in a crude platinum ore by the English chemist Smithson Tennant in 1803.
Osmium and iridium were discovered at the same time by the British chemist Smithson Tennant in 1803. Osmium and iridium were identified in the black residue remaining after dissolving platinum ore with aqua regia, a mixture of 25% nitric acid (HNO3) and 75% hydrochloric acid (HCl). Today, osmium is primarily recovered during the processing of platinum and nickel ores.
Discovered in 1803 by Tennant in the residue left when crude platinum is dissolved by aqua regia.
Pure osmium is a lustrous bluish white to blue-gray metal. It is extremely dense and hard but also brittle, so it is not readily shaped by ordinary metalworking. Finely divided osmium can oxidize slowly in air to form volatile osmium tetroxide.
Osmium metal has had limited historical use in very hard wear-resistant alloys, including early fountain-pen tips, instrument pivots, and electrical contacts, but most such uses have been replaced by other platinum-group alloys or tungsten materials. Osmium tetroxide, OsO₄, remains important in microscopy as a stain and fixative for unsaturated lipids and biological membranes. Osmium compounds are also used as specialized oxidation catalysts and reagents in organic synthesis, generally on small laboratory or fine-chemical scales.
Metallic osmium is hard, brittle and very difficult to make. Powdered osmium is easier to make but emits osmium tetroxide (OsO4) when it is exposed to the air. Unfortunately, osmium tetroxide smells bad and is very poisonous. Because of these problems, osmium is primarily used to make very hard alloys. Osmium alloys can be found in ball point pen tips, fountain pen tips, record player needles, electrical contacts and other devices where frictional wear must be minimized.
The tetroxide has been used to detect fingerprints and to stain fatty tissue for microscope slides. The metal is almost entirely used to produce very hard alloys with other metals of the platinum group for fountain pen tips, instrument pivots, phonograph needles, and electrical contacts.
Isotopes in Earth/Planetary Science
The isotope-amount ratio n(187Os)/n(186Os) in rocks can be transferred to fluids, such as magmas, groundwaters, rivers, and oceans. Variations in the inherited n(187Os)/n(186Os) ratios can provide a useful tracer for fluid sources and migration paths, including different layers of the Earth [301] G. Faure. Principles of Isotope Geology, 2nd Edition. p. 608. Wiley, New York (1986)., [504] A. Schersten. Re-Os, Pt-Os and Hf-W Isotopes and Tracing the Core in Mantle Melts, MantlePlumes.org (2014), Feb. 25; http://www.mantleplumes.org/Os-W.html., [516] A. D. Brandon, R. J. Walker. Earth. Planet. Sci. Lett.3-4 (232), 211 (2005)., [517] M. Sharma, G. J. Wasserburg, A. W. Hofmann, G. J. Chakrapani. Geochim. Cosmochim. Acta63 (23-24), 4005 (1999).. Meteorites and meteorite dust impacting the Earth have different osmium isotopic compositions than terrestrial rocks and sediments. As a result, n(187Os)/n(186Os)-ratio studies provide evidence of continuing extraterrestrial additions to the Earth over geologic time, as well as providing a method for prospecting in the sedimentary record for large meteorite impact events that may have affected life on Earth [518] F. S. Paquay, G. E. Ravizza, T. K. Dalai, B. Peucker-Ehrenbrink. Science320 (5873), 214 (2008)..
Isotopes in Geochronology
Some 187Os is radiogenic as a result of being formed by the beta decay of radioactive 187Re, which has a half-life of 4.16×1010 years. Variations in the isotope-amount ratio n(187Os)/n(186Os) and amount ratio n(187Re)/n(186Os) are used for geochronology; for example, variations in these ratios have been used to determine the ages of the Earth, Moon, and meteorites [301] G. Faure. Principles of Isotope Geology, 2nd Edition. p. 608. Wiley, New York (1986).. Kirk et al. [519] J. Kirk, J. Ruiz, J. Chesley, J. Walshe, G. England. Science297, 1856 (2002). measured rhenium-osmium isotopic abundances in gold and pyrites from conglomerates of the Central Rand Group of South Africa (Fig. IUPAC.76.1), which have produced over 48 000 metric tons of gold and have accounted for 40 percent of the world’s total historic production [520] H. E. Frimmel, W. E. L. Minter. Soc. Econ. Geol. Spec. Publ.9, 17 (2002).. The gold and rounded pyrites from the conglomerates yield an age of ~3.0×109 years. Kirk et al. find that this age is much older than that of the conglomerate, and they conclude that the gold is detrital (material wearing away by weathering or erosion) and was not deposited by later hydrothermal fluids.
Isotopes Used as a Source of Radioactive Isotope(s)
192Os can be used for the production of the medical radioisotope 195mPt via the 192Os (α, n) 195mPt reaction.
Osmium shows a wide range of oxidation states, from negative states in carbonyl complexes to the high +8 state. Osmium tetroxide, OsO₄, is the best-known compound; it is volatile, strongly oxidizing, and formed by oxidation of osmium metal or lower oxides. Osmium dioxide, OsO₂, is a stable dark oxide with rutile-type structure. Halide chemistry includes osmium tetrachloride, OsCl₄, and chloroosmate complexes such as hexachloroosmate(IV), [OsCl₆]²⁻. Organometallic and carbonyl complexes are important in coordination chemistry but are not bulk materials.
See more information at the Osmium compound page.
Compact osmium metal is relatively inert, but powders and sponges are hazardous because they can produce osmium tetroxide, OsO₄, in air. OsO₄ is highly toxic, volatile, and a strong oxidant; it can damage eyes, skin, and respiratory tissue at very low exposure levels. Osmium compounds should be treated as toxic laboratory chemicals. Natural osmium contains stable isotopes and is not a radiological hazard in ordinary material.
Concentrations in air as low as 107 g/m3 can cause lung congestion, skin damage, or eye damage. Exposure to osmium tetroxide should not exceed 0.0016 mg/m3 (8-hour time weighted average - 40-hour work week).
Osmium is a trace element in the crust and is commonly associated with platinum-group minerals in mafic and ultramafic rocks. It is highly particle-reactive in many natural settings and can be transported in detrital grains or bound to sulfides and organic-rich sediments. The rhenium-osmium isotope system is used to date some ores and sedimentary rocks. Environmental releases are normally very small, but soluble or volatile osmium compounds can be locally significant in laboratories and specialized industry.
Osmium is recovered as a minor by-product of platinum and nickel-copper ore processing rather than mined as a primary product. Separation from other platinum-group metals is technically demanding because of similar chemistry and because volatile osmium tetroxide, OsO₄, must be controlled. Demand is small and specialized, centered on laboratory reagents, catalysts, and limited alloy applications. Recycling occurs mainly through recovery of platinum-group metal residues rather than through a large independent osmium market. Substitution is common where hardness, corrosion resistance, or catalytic behavior can be supplied by iridium, ruthenium, platinum alloys, or non-precious materials.
Osmium occurs in iridosule and in platinum-bearing river sands in the Urals, North America, and South America. It is also found in the nickel-bearing ores of Sudbury, Ontario region along with other platinum metals. While the quantity of platinum metals in these ores is very small, the large tonnages of processed nickel ores make commercial recovery possible.
Osmium is a heavy element made mainly by neutron-capture processes in earlier generations of stars, with contributions from both rapid and slow neutron-capture pathways depending on isotope. It is rare in the solar system but enriched with other siderophile platinum-group elements in metallic phases. Its isotopic ratios are useful tracers in meteoritic and planetary differentiation studies.
- Osmium is usually cited as the densest naturally occurring element, very close to iridium.
- The name comes from the Greek word for smell, referring to the sharp odor of osmium tetroxide.
- Osmium tetroxide reacts with carbon-carbon double bonds, which underlies its use in staining lipids.
- Some osmiridium alloys occur naturally as hard metallic grains in placer deposits.
- The isotope ¹⁸⁷Os is the decay product of long-lived ¹⁸⁷Re.
