Where Ru₃(CO)₁₂ is used
C–H functionalization and carbonylation
A catalyst for arene C–H arylation and alkylation, hydroesterification and water-gas-shift-driven reductions — a versatile Ru(0) platform in methodology and process research.
Ruthenium deposition
A halide-free volatile source for CVD of ruthenium films studied for semiconductor interconnect and capacitor applications.
Storage and shipping
Storage. Store cold, sealed under inert gas, away from heat; releases CO on decomposition.
Shipping. Ships in sealed glass under nitrogen; handling note on CO release included with SDS.
Packaging. 1 g · 5 g · 25 g

Frequently asked questions
How is pricing structured?
Quotes reference the day's ruthenium price on assayed contained metal plus a stated conversion charge; ruthenium's low price among PGMs makes it the economical choice wherever it can do the job.
What documentation is included?
Every lot ships with a certificate of analysis stating assayed metal content, plus an English SDS. ICP trace-metal panels are available on request.
Do you take back spent material?
Yes — spent catalyst, coating residues and off-spec lots are assayed on receipt and the recovered ruthenium credited against your next order.
