Ruthenium(1+), tetraamminedichloro-, hydroxide - Introduction
The hydraxide, chemical formula [Ru(NH3) 4cl2 (OH)], is a metal complex. Its nature is as follows:
1. Appearance: hydraxide crystal is colorless or light yellow powder.
2. Stability: hydroxide is relatively stable in dry air, but it is easy to decompose in a wet environment.
3. Solubility: hydroxide is soluble in water and some organic solvents, such as methanol and acetonitrile.
The uses of hydroxide mainly include the following aspects:
1. Catalyst: Because it contains transition metal ruthenium, hydroxoxide can be used as a catalyst in organic synthesis reactions, such as oxidation reactions, hydrolysis reactions, etc.
2. Electrochemical research: hydroxide can be used as an electron transfer agent in electrochemical experiments to determine the potential of reduction and oxidation reactions.
3. Biological Research: hydroxide has certain binding ability with biological macromolecules such as DNA, and is commonly used in the research of fluorescent probes and biosensors.
The method of preparing hydroxoxide is generally carried out by a coordination reaction. First, ammonia gas is added to the aqueous solution, and the ammonia reacts with ruthenium chloride to form the (II) complex. After that, the product is crystallized and precipitated by adding a base such as sodium hydroxide to obtain hydroxide.
Safety information regarding this compound, in case of contact with skin or ingestion, take appropriate precautions and seek medical attention as soon as possible. When using, it is necessary to comply with laboratory safety procedures and ensure good ventilation conditions to avoid inhalation of dust or gas.
