Ruthenium(III) chloride trihydrate (Cat No.:M051623) is a red to brown crystalline compound composed of ruthenium in the +3 oxidation state, coordinated with chloride ions and three molecules of water. It is widely used as a precursor in the synthesis of other ruthenium complexes, catalysts, and organometallic compounds. RuCl₃·3H₂O plays a crucial role in homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis, including hydrogenation, oxidation, and metathesis reactions. It is also employed in materials science for producing ruthenium-based thin films and electrodes. Handling requires caution due to its potential toxicity and oxidative properties.
