Ruthenium mercury containing

There are three important routes to the formation of the mercury-transition metal bond (a) displacement of halogen or pseudohalogen from mercury(II) salts with carbonyl metallate anions (b) reaction of a halo-phenylmercury compound with a transition metal hydride and (c) oxidative addition of a mercury halide to neutral zero valent metals.1 We report here the syntheses of three compounds containing three-centre, two-electron, mercury-ruthenium bonds utilizing trinuclear cluster anions and mercury(II) halides.2-4...

Redox-type waste contains considerable mercury, which must be removed. Advantage is taken of the presence of mercury to use it as a carrier for the ruthenium and technetium when this group is precipitated as the sulfides. This involves fairly corrosive chemical solutions, but they can be handled in equipment fabricated with special grades of stainless steel. The filtrate contains only the alkaline and rare earths which are then precipitated as carbonates, the same as the Purex-type procedure. The waste from this step is treated separately. 

The sulfur-containing receptors have little affinity for hard cations but can form extractable host-guest complexes with soft cations such as Ag+, Hg +, T1+, Pd +, and Pt +. Silver is found to interact strongly with sulfur [138, 139]. It was even possible to isolate 1 1 host-guest silver and mercury complexes in a large sulfur-containing macrocycle a linear HgC molecule is hosted in the cavity, but in the 1 2 complex a second mercury atom is externally attached to the ruthenium atom [140-142]. Palladium and platinum are also selectively complexed by polythia-coronands [143-148]. Some X-ray diffraction studies on palladium [147, 148] and platinum [143, 145] complexes established that the coordination of the metal occurs by interaction with the sulfur sites. 

When fuel contains heavier hydrocarbons than methane, or it is biofuel, or contains alcohols, the feedstock often contains additional compounds such as sulphur and phosphorus, that is, fertiliser impurities. In the petrochemical industry, gas-borne reactive spedes (i.e., sulphur, arsenic, chlorine, mercury, zinc, etc.) or unsaturated hydrocarbons (i.e., acetylene, ethylene, propylene and butylene) may act as contaminating agents (Deshmukh et al, 2007). These impurities cause catalyst deactivation by poisoning. The effect of a poison on an active surface is seen as site blockage or atomic surface structure transformation (Babita et a/., 2011). Therefore, it is important to choose poisoning-resistant catalyst materials. For example, nickel is not the most effective MSR catalyst although it is widely used in industry due to its low market price compared to ruthenium and rhodium. Both Ru and Rh are more effective in MSR and less carbon is formed in these systems, than in the case of Ni. However, due to the cost and availability of precious metals, these are not widely used in industrial applications.
