CAS 20427-56-9: Ruthenium Tetroxide
Description:Ruthenium tetroxide (RuO4) is a highly reactive and volatile compound of ruthenium, characterized by its strong oxidizing properties. It appears as a pale yellow to brownish liquid or gas, depending on the temperature and concentration. This compound is known for its ability to oxidize a wide range of organic compounds, making it valuable in organic synthesis, particularly in the oxidation of alkenes and alcohols. Ruthenium tetroxide is also notable for its role in the field of catalysis and materials science. It has a relatively low boiling point and can be hazardous due to its toxicity and potential to cause severe irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Proper handling and storage in a controlled environment are essential to mitigate risks associated with exposure. Additionally, it is important to note that ruthenium tetroxide can decompose under certain conditions, releasing toxic gases, which necessitates careful management in laboratory and industrial settings.
