Hexaammineruthenium(III) Chloride
Hexaammineruthenium(III) chloride (CAS 14282-91-8; [Ru(NH3)6]Cl3; formula weight 309.61) is an inorganic coordination salt composed of a hexaammine ruthenium(III) cation and three chloride counterions. Its defined coordination structure and ruthenium oxidation state make it useful as a research reagent, particularly in electrochemistry and coordination chemistry. This material is a laboratory chemical, not a medicine, nutrient, or cosmetic ingredient.
The compound is commonly used in studies of the hexaammineruthenium(III/II) redox couple, valued as an outer-sphere electron-transfer system with reversible electrochemical behavior under suitable conditions. It is also used as a starting material in research synthesis of other ruthenium coordination compounds. Actual behavior depends on the experimental system and material grade; verify identity, assay, and relevant lot-specific specifications against supplier documentation. Follow the supplier safety data sheet and institutional requirements for handling ruthenium-containing chemicals and waste.
– Used as a soluble redox probe or mediator in laboratory electrochemistry, including studies of electron transfer and electrode response involving the hexaammineruthenium(III/II) couple. Its suitability and measured response depend on the electrode, electrolyte, and test conditions; it is a research reagent, not a universal performance standard.
– Applied in electrochemical method and sensor research where a well-defined ruthenium coordination ion is useful for evaluating signal response or interfacial behavior. Any sensor or assay application is investigational and requires validation for the specific matrix and intended research purpose; no clinical, diagnostic, or consumer-use efficacy is implied.
