Ruthenium(IV) tetrachloride is volatile inorganic compound of ruthenium and chlorine with the formula RuCl
4.[1][2]
Synthesis
Synthesis of ruthenium(IV) tetrachloride is formed by the action of chlorine gas on ruthenium(III) chloride at 750 °C:
- RuCl
3 + 0.5Cl
2 → RuCl
4
- RuCl
The RuCl4 is collected on a liquefied air cooled condenser and decomposes above -30 °C.[1] The reaction was determined to have the following thermodynamic properties:
- ΔH°298 = 36.6 kcal/mol (enthalpy)
- ΔS°298 = 32.8 entropy units (entropy change)
- = -6.6 cal/mol degree (change in heat capacity at constant pressure)
- S°298 = 99.3 entropy units
The degree signs indicate standard state.
Properties
Ruthenium(IV) tetrachloride decomposes above -30 °C:[3]
- RuCl
4 → RuCl
3 + 0.5Cl
2
- RuCl
