It was first synthesized by ] and Heinrich Grumbert via the reaction of ] with excess ] in ], where osmium(II) chloride is presumed to be an intermediate formed ''in situ''. Alternatively, ] could be reacted with osmium(IV) chloride, though this has worse yields.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Fischer|first1=Ernst Otto|last2=Grumbert|first2=Heinrich|title=Über Aromatenkomplexe von Metallen, XXIX.

== Properties ==
Osmocene is a white solid. The molecular structure features an osmium ion sandwiched between two ] rings. It is isomorphous to the lighter homologue ], both crystallizing in an eclipsed conformation. This is in contrast to ], which crystallizes with its rings staggered.<ref name="structure"/>

Compared to ferrocene and ruthenocene, osmocene is less reactive towards electrophilic aromatic substitution but has the greatest tendency towards ] formation with ]s.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Kur|first1=Sally A.|last2=Rheingold|first2=Arnold L.|last3=Winter|first3=Charles H.|title=Synthesis, Characterization, and Halogenation of Decakis( acetoxymercurio)osmoene.

The osmocenium cation <sup>+</sup> dimerizes, forming a binuclear complex with an Os-Os bond.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Droege|first1=Michael W.|last2=Harman|first2=W.

==Uses==
In 2009, Horst Kunkely and Arnd Vogler reported the possibility of ] with osmocene as a catalyst.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Kunkely|first1=Horst|last2=Vogler|first2=Arnd|title=Water Splitting by Light with Osmocene as Photocatalyst|journal=]|volume=48|issue=9|pages=1685–1687|date=2009|doi=10.1002/anie.200804712|pmid=19173275 |doi-access=free}}</ref>
