General description

Hexaammineruthenium III/II (HexRu(III)|HexRu(II)) couple is a commonly used electrochemical redox couple due to its chemical and electrochemical reversibility.

Application

Hexaammineruthenium(III) chloride can be used as a precursor for the preparation of:
  • Ru/Al2O3 catalyst for CO2 hydrogenation.
  • Bimetallic complexes ([Ru(NH3)6][Ag(CN)2]3·2H2O).
  • Chloropentaammineruthenium(III) chloride.
For small scale and high throughput uses, product is also available as ChemBeads (932183)
