Ruthenium trichloride Specification

The Ruthenium trichloride, with the CAS registry number 10049-08-8, is also known as Ruthenium(III) chloride. It belongs to the product categories of Inorganics; Catalysts for Organic Synthesis; Classes of Metal Compounds; Homogeneous Catalysts; Ru (Ruthenium) Compounds; Synthetic Organic Chemistry; Titanium Alkoxides, etc. (Homogeneous Catalysts); Transition Metal Compounds; Catalysis and Inorganic Chemistry; Ru Catalysts Metal and Ceramic Science; Ruthenium; Ruthenium Salts; Salts; Metal Halide. Its EINECS registry number is 233-167-5. This chemical's molecular formula is Cl₃Ru and molecular weight is 207.43. What's more, its systematic name is called Ruthenium(+2) cation trichloride. It should be stored in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place. Crystalline material is usually prepared by heating powdered ruthenium metal to 700 °C under a 4:1 mixture of chlorine and carbon monoxide: the product is carried by the gas stream and crystallises upon cooling.

Physical properties about Ruthenium trichloride are: (1)#H bond acceptors: 0; (2)#H bond donors: 0; (3)#Freely Rotating Bonds: 0; (4)Polar Surface Area: Å².

Uses of Ruthenium trichloride: it is used to produce other chemicals. For example, RuCl₃(H₂O)x reacts with carbon monoxide under mild conditions. Reduction of carbonylated solutions with Zn affords the orange triangular cluster [Ru₃(CO)₁₂].

3 RuCl₃·xH2O + 4.5 Zn + 12 CO (high pressure) → Ru₃(CO)₁₂ + 3 H2O + 4.5 ZnCl₂

When you are dealing with this chemical, you should be very careful. This chemical may destroy living tissue on contact and may cause burns. it is harmful if swallowed and may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment. Therefore, you should wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye/face protection. In addition, you must avoid releasing to the environment and refer to special instructions/safety data sheet. In case of contacting with eyes, you should rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice. And in case of accident or if you feel unwell seek medical advice immediately.
