Ruthenium(III) chloride CAS 10049-08-8 is a reddish brown or black leaf shaped crystal that is easily deliquescent. When the relative density is 3.11 and above 500 ℃, it decomposes into elemental substances. Insoluble in cold water and carbon disulfide, decomposes in hot water, insoluble in ethanol, soluble in hydrochloric acid. When reacting with potassium iodide solution, iodide precipitate is formed. When hydrogen sulfide is introduced into the solution, it precipitates as ruthenium trisulfide, which can form corresponding complexes with ammonia, potassium cyanide, and potassium nitrite. When reacting with sodium mercury or titanium trichloride, it is reduced to blue divalent ruthenium ions.

Ruthenium (III) chloride is used as a spectral purity reagent. Ruthenium (III) chloride is used as a catalyst for the oxidative cyclization of 1,7-dienes to generate oxacycloheptanediol. Ruthenium (III) chloride hydroxylates the tertiary carbon hydrogen bonds of cyclic ethers using periodate or bromate salts.
