Chemical compound

Dichlororuthenium tricarbonyl dimer is an organoruthenium compound with the formula 2. A yellow solid, the molecule features a pair of octahedral Ru centers bridged by a pair of chloride ligands. The complex is a common starting material in ruthenium chemistry.

Synthesis and reactions

Dichlororuthenium tricarbonyl dimer arises by the carbonylation of a hot solution of ruthenium trichloride in methoxyethanol.

The complex exists in equilibrium with the polymer:

n 2 → 2n + 2 CO

It reacts with potassium hydroxide in alcohol to give triruthenium dodecacarbonyl.

Dichlororuthenium tricarbonyl dimer reacts with glycine to give tricarbonylchloroglycinatoruthenium(II).
