Useful:

• Chemical Classes: Metals -> Metals, Inorganic Compounds
• Canonical SMILES: O=[Ru](=O)(=O)=O
• Uses: Ruthenium tetroxide is an oxidizing agent similar to osmium tetroxide, but more difficult to handle. The solvents normally employed in OsO4 oxidations (ether, benzene, pyridine) cannot be used because of their violent reaction with RuO4. Only CCl4 is recommended.

Technology Process of Ruthenium tetroxide

There total 120 articles about Ruthenium tetroxide which guide to synthetic route it. The literature collected by LookChem mainly comes from the sharing of users and the free literature resources found by Internet computing technology. We keep the original model of the professional version of literature to make it easier and faster for users to retrieve and use. At the same time, we analyze and calculate the most feasible synthesis route with the highest yield for your reference as below:
