A 500-mL round-bottomed flask is charged with RuCl3 3H20 (6g, 22.9 mmol), Na0Ac-3H20 (12 g, 88.2 mmol), a stir bar, 150 mL absolute ethanol, and 150 mL

High-purity samples are obtained by dissolving the green powder in a minimum amount (ca. 100 mg in lOmL) of premixed 1 1 methanol/acetone, cooling to —40°C (MeCN/dry-ice bath), and collecting the precipitate from the cold solution by filtration. This recrystallization is repeated two to three times.
