Description
Summary:Published information on ruthenium trichloride is discrepant and confusing. Although two forms of the compound have been recognised, the means of preparing each in a pure form and of rigorously establishing its purity have been lacking. A detailed physico-chemical examination of the materials produced during a systematic re-investigation of the chlorination of ruthenium metal has led to the development of methods for the preparation of pure α- and β-RuCl 3. The properties of the two forms and their relation to each other are described.
