Osmium heptafluoride is a possible inorganic chemical compound of osmium metal and fluorine with the chemical formula OsF
7.[2][3] It was first reported in 1966 by the reaction of fluorine and osmium at 600 °C and 400 atm,[4] but no purported synthesis could be reproduced in 2006, giving only osmium hexafluoride instead.[5]
