ruthenium tribromide

Description:

Ruthenium tribromide (RuBr3) is an inorganic compound characterized by its dark brown to black crystalline appearance. It is a transition metal halide, where ruthenium, a member of the platinum group metals, is combined with bromine. This compound exhibits interesting properties, including its ability to act as a catalyst in various chemical reactions, particularly in organic synthesis and polymerization processes. Ruthenium tribromide is known for its stability under ambient conditions, although it can be sensitive to moisture and should be handled in a dry environment. It has a relatively high melting point, indicative of strong ionic or covalent interactions within its structure. In terms of reactivity, RuBr3 can participate in redox reactions and can be reduced to lower oxidation states of ruthenium. Its applications extend to fields such as materials science and catalysis, where it plays a role in enhancing reaction efficiencies. Safety precautions are necessary when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested.

Ruthenium(III) bromide hydrate

CAS: 14014-88-1

Ruthenium bromide is a catalyst that is used in the chemical industry to synthesize ethylene and other organic compounds. Ruthenium bromide is most commonly used as a cocatalyst for the production of polyethylene. It can be synthesized by hydration of ruthenium chloride or by reacting paraformaldehyde with water and sodium bromate. The transition temperature of ruthenium bromide hydrate (RbBr3·H2O) is about -60°C, which makes it useful in high-temperature reactions. Ruthenium bromide hydrate also catalyzes the conversion of alcohols to aldehydes or ketones when heated with chlorides, iodides, or chloroformates. Ruthenium bromide hydrate has been shown to have high recyclability due to its ionic liquid character.
