Ruthenium(III) nitrosylchloride(CAT: M087906), typically represented as [RuCl₃(NO)]·xH₂O, is a coordination complex featuring a ruthenium(III) center bound to a nitrosyl (NO) ligand and chloride ions. This reddish-brown solid is widely used as a precursor in the synthesis of various ruthenium-based complexes, especially in the development of catalysts, organometallic frameworks, and photochemical materials. The presence of the NO ligand imparts unique redox and electronic properties, making the compound valuable in studies involving electron transfer, coordination chemistry, and nitric oxide donor behavior.
