Ruthenium pentacarbonyl is the organoruthenium compound with the formula Ru(CO)5. It is a colorless, light-sensitive liquid that readily decarbonylates upon standing at room temperature. It is of academic interest as an intermediate for the synthesis of metal carbonyl complexes.[2]
Preparation
Ru(CO)5 was originally prepared by carbonylation of ruthenium salts in the presence of a reducing agent.[3] A more recent preparation involves photolysis of triruthenium dodecacarbonyl in the presence of carbon monoxide:[2]
- Ru3(CO)12 + 3 CO ⇌ 3 Ru(CO)5
It is characterized by two intense νCO bands in the IR spectrum at 2038 and 2003 cm−1 (hexane solution).[2]
Comparisons of M(CO)5 (M = Fe, Ru, Os)
Whereas Fe(CO)5 is completely robust at room temperature, samples of Ru(CO)5 are typically reddish owing to contamination by Ru3(CO)12. The conversion is rapid in solution. Os(CO)5 requires heating to 80 °C to effect conversion to triosmium dodecacarbonyl.[1]
