ruthenium

There are many studies of individual molecular behavior on ruthenium in surface science.

It is used as a precursor to other compounds of ruthenium.

This week, we're meeting ruthenium, a chemical element that even I'd forgotten about!

Ruthenium has the symbol Ru and the atomic number 44.

Ruthenium is used as a catalyst in some platinum alloys.

As ruthenium is in the same group as iron, they share many characteristics.

The oxidation states of ruthenium range from 0 to +8, and 2.

The properties of ruthenium and osmium compounds are often similar.

Ruthenium is quite costly, which makes it impractical for commercial applications.

Copper and ruthenium are the commonly used catalysts in the reaction.

This coat is extremely hydrated and stains with ruthenium red.

As you can see in the above image, ruthenium is a hard, lustrous silvery metal.

Like the other metals of the platinum group, ruthenium is inert to most chemicals.

A minor application of ruthenium is its use in some platinum alloys.

It is thought that some of these issues can be resolved with the use of a ruthenium substitute.

The most common catalysts are the metals cobalt, iron, and ruthenium.

Cobalt and ruthenium anions of these types also have stability issues.

Ruthenium has four crystal modifications and does not tarnish at normal temperatures.

These two electronic applications account for 50% of the ruthenium consumption.

Some of the particles which were emitted by the fire were very rich in ruthenium.

It is clear that the fission ruthenium has a different isotope signature.

Ruthenium also serves to speed up the reaction.

This can be observed with the ruthenium complex below:

Ruthenium can also behave in a very similar manner to the iron and undergo this type of binding.

More ruthenium drugs are still under development.
