dark bluish black powder(s), with rutile crystal(s) form [KIR82] [ALD94]
The osmium oxide/hexacyanoruthenate films modified electrodes plays an important role for the electrocatalytic reaction of catecholamines and sulfur oxoanions. Used as catalyst. Metallic osmium or an osmium oxide-ruthenium cyanide film modified graphite electrodes plays an essential role for the determination of biogenic amines from electrocatalytic responses.
Brown or black crystals. Amorphous form can explode spontaneously in air. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of Os.
