Ruthenium(II) cyclooctadiene bis-(2,2,6,6-tetramethylheptanedionate) (Cat No.: M054720) is a coordination complex featuring a ruthenium(II) center bound to one cyclooctadiene ligand and two bulky β-diketonate ligands. This air-stable organometallic compound is commonly used as a precursor in homogeneous catalysis, particularly in hydrogenation, olefin metathesis, and transfer hydrogenation reactions. Its sterically hindered ligands enhance solubility and influence selectivity in catalytic processes. The compound is valuable in both academic and industrial research for developing novel ruthenium-based catalysts in fine chemical and pharmaceutical synthesis.
