Ruthenium(IV) tetrachloride is volatile inorganic compound of ruthenium and chlorine with the formula RuCl4. [1] [2]
Synthesis of ruthenium(IV) tetrachloride is formed by the action of chlorine gas on ruthenium(III) chloride at 750 °C:
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:
The degree signs indicate standard state.
Ruthenium(IV) tetrachloride decomposes above -30 °C: [3]
