Ruthenium(III) acetate, commonly known as basic ruthenium acetate, [1] describes a family of salts where the cation has the formula [Ru3O(O2CCH3)6(OH2)3+. A representative derivative is the dihydrate of the tetrafluoroborate salt [Ru3O(O2CCH3)6(OH2)3]BF4(H2O)2, which is the source of the data in the table above. [2] This and related salts are forest green, air-stable solids that are soluble in alcohols.
Basic ruthenium acetate features octahedral Ru(III) centers, a triply bridging oxo ligand, six acetate ligands, and three aquo ligands. The same structure is shared with basic acetates of iron, chromium, iridium, and manganese. [1] [2]
It is prepared by heating ruthenium trichloride in acetic acid in the presence of sodium acetate. [3] The basic acetates of ruthenium were reported in the early 1950s but were not properly formulated. [4]
Basic ruthenium acetate reacts with many ligands such as triphenylphosphine and pyridine concomitant with reduction. These derivatives [Ru3O(O2CCH3)6L30 are mixed valence compounds. [5]
