Dichlorodicarbonylbis(triphenylphosphine)ruthenium(II) (Cat No.: M059201) is an organometallic complex with the formula RuCl₂(CO)₂(PPh₃)₂, featuring a ruthenium(II) center coordinated to two carbonyl groups, two chloride ions, and two triphenylphosphine ligands. It is a yellow to orange crystalline solid commonly used as a catalyst or catalyst precursor in homogeneous catalysis, particularly for hydrogenation, carbonylation, and olefin transformation reactions. Its combination of strong π-acceptor CO ligands and bulky phosphines provides tunable electronic and steric properties, making it valuable in both academic research and industrial organometallic chemistry.
