Ruthenium(III) Iodide
Ruthenium(III) Iodide (CAS: 13896-65-6) is a black crystalline powder that serves as a high-ruthenium-content source for specialty synthesis. It is used in the preparation of ruthenium complexes and catalysts, in thin-film and materials research, and in processes where an iodide-based ruthenium precursor is preferred over more common chloride salts. The compound is insoluble in water and most ordinary solvents, reacting instead in melts or coordinated amine systems, so it is typically consumed in dedicated organometallic routes. Its high metal loading means less material is needed per batch, which matters for precious-metal economics, and the powder form simplifies weighing and charging. Customers value it for its defined composition, straightforward handling, and usefulness as a starting material for electronic-grade and catalytic ruthenium chemistry.
• Catalyst chemistry: a starting material for ruthenium complexes used in metathesis, hydrogenation, and oxidation catalysis, including research on new catalytic systems and ligand platforms.
• Materials research: used in the preparation of ruthenium-containing thin films, coatings, and advanced inorganic materials for electronic, magnetic, and optical studies.
• Precious-metal source: provides a concentrated ruthenium feedstock for refining circuits and specialty synthesis routes where metal accounting and recovery are critical.
• Laboratory reagent: suitable for academic and industrial research on ruthenium iodide chemistry, ligand exchange, and precursor development for deposition and doping processes.
