Much less is known about ruthenium oxyhalides than about the osmium compounds. The only compound definitely characterized [24] is RuOF4, synthesized by fluorination of Ru02, condensing the product at -196°C. It loses oxygen slowly at room temperature, rapidly at 70°C. 

The hydration of alkenes is one important method of synthesizing alcohols. Industrially, sulfuric acid is used as a catalyst, while small-scale preparations often utilize toxic mercury compounds. (Definitely not the kind of stuff you want to drink.)...
