Dihydridocarbonyltris(triphenylphosphine)ruthenium（Cat No.:L046940）is an organometallic complex with the formula RuH₂(CO)(PPh₃)₃. This yellow crystalline compound features a ruthenium(II) center coordinated with three triphenylphosphine ligands, two hydride ligands, and one carbonyl ligand. It is widely used in homogeneous catalysis, particularly for hydrogenation, hydroformylation, and transfer hydrogenation reactions. The bulky triphenylphosphines modulate both the electronic and steric properties of the complex, enabling selective catalytic transformations. It is sensitive to air and moisture, typically handled under inert atmosphere. Its versatile reactivity makes it valuable in both academic and industrial organometallic chemistry.
