General description

Tetrakis(dimethylsulfoxide)dichlororuthenium(II), [RuCl2(dmso)4] is an organoruthenium compound. It is used as a homogeneous catalyst in organic synthesis.

Tetrakis(dimethylsulfoxide)dichlororuthenium(II) (Ru(DMSO)4Cl2) is a coordination complex generally used as a catalyst in various reactions. In addition, it is also used as a precursor in the synthesis of other ruthenium complexes.

Application

RuCl2(dmso)4 can be used as a catalyst for:
  • The β-alkylation of secondary alcohols via hydrogen auto-transfer process.
  • The oxidation of thioethers (S) to sulfoxides by N-methylmorpholine N-oxide (NMO).

Tetrakis(dimethylsulfoxide)dichlororuthenium(II) can be used as a precursor in the synthesis of Ru(II)-MEPE (metallo-supramolecular polyelectrolytes) complex, which is used to prepare electrochromic organic-metallic hybrid polymers.
