Ruthenium acetylacetonate(CAT: M060809), commonly represented as Ru(acac)₃, is a coordination complex featuring ruthenium(III) chelated by three acetylacetonate ligands. This deep red to purple compound is highly stable and soluble in organic solvents, making it a valuable catalyst precursor in homogeneous and organometallic chemistry. It is widely used in oxidation reactions, C–H activation, and as a dopant in thin film deposition for electronic and photovoltaic applications. Its well-defined structure and redox-active metal center make it a key reagent in advanced materials synthesis, coordination chemistry, and catalytic process development.
