Physical properties of binary or ternary Ru/Ir based mixed oxides with valve metal additions is still a field which deserves further research. The complexity of this matter has been demonstrated by Triggs [49] on (Ru,Ti)Ox who has shown, using XPS and other techniques (UPS, Mossbauer, Absorption, Conductivity), that Ru in TiOz (Ti rich phase) adopts different valence states depending on the environment. Possible donors or acceptors are compensated by Ru in the respective valence state. Trivalent donors are compensated by Ru5+, pentavalent acceptors will be compensated by Ru3+ or even Ru2+. In pure TiOz ruthenium adopts the tetravalent state. The surface composition of the titanium rich phase (2% Ru) was found to be identical to the nominal composition. 

Ruthenium is a rare, hard, silvery-white metallic element located in group 8, just above osmium and below iron, with which it shares some chemical and physical properties. Both ruthenium and osmium are heavier and harder than pure iron, making them more brittle and difficult to refine. Both ruthenium and osmium are less tractable and malleable...

Olefin metathesis has become a very important reaction in polymer chemistry and natural product synthesis [47-49]. Garber et al. have used the physical properties of dendrimers in order to improve the separation between the dendritic metathesis catalyst and products on silica gel column chromatography [50]. The Van Koten group has reported on the synthesis of different generations of carbosilane dendrimers functionalized with ruthenium metathesis catalysts [51]. 

In the design of such supramolecular dyads, a number of prerequisites should to be considered. In order to obtain a true supramolecular assembly there needs to be substantial interaction between the different components of the assembly. There should, however, not be any substantial changes in the physical properties of these components, but their combination should lead to some new and novel characteristics. The combination of components should have properties over and above those of the separate components, without destroying their individual characters. Molecular dyads may, for example, contain a photosensitizer and an electron or energy donor or acceptor. An example of such a combination of a sensitizer and an electron donor is the Ru-PTZ dyad [14] shown in Figure 6.21. In this assembly, the ruthenium center is the sensitizer, S, and the phenothiazine... 

The physical properties, preparation and reactions of ruthenium tetroxide have been reviewed by Lee and van den Engh, Rylander," Haines and Hetuy and Lange. A more vigorous oxidant than osmium tetroxide, its reaction with double bonds produces only cleavage products. " Under neutral conditions aldehydes are formed from unsaturated secondary carbons while carboxylic acids are obtained under alkaline or acidic conditions. For example, Shalon and Elliott" found that ruthenium tetroxide reacted with compound (11) to give the corresponding aldehyde under neutral conditions, but that a carboxylic acid was formed in acidic or alkaline solvents (equation 23). 

Os(NH3)5(N2)]l2 is air-stable and inert to replacement of N2, except on oxidation. It can be diazotized with HNO2, giving [Os(NH3)4(N2)2]. Other chemical and physical properties have been reported. > > The salt [Os(NH3)e]-I3 appears to be similar to its ruthenium analog but has been investigated only briefly.2,5 [Os(NH3)s(NO)]3+ is reversibly deprotonated to form [Os(NH2)-(NH3)4(NO)]2+, and may be reduced with zinc to [Os(NH3)e] or with hydrazine to [Os(NH3)s(N2)] +. None of the nitrosyls synthesized here is susceptible to nucleophilic attack at the NO+ group. All are diamagnetic, and their other... 

Table 2 gives some of the physical properties of the known pentafluorides. Iridium pentafluoride is isomorphous and nearly isodimensional with ruthenium pentafluoride and presumably has the nonlinear fluorine-bridged tetrameric molecular structure, reported by Holloway, Peacock, and Small for that fluoride. In this arrangement the... 

Because bipyridines substituted at the 3 and 3 positions exhibit a large steric repulsion between substituents while in the cis configuration,27 they bind metals more weakly and form strained, nonplanar structures.28 However, a series of 3,3 -disubstituted bipyridines were coordinated to ruthenium, and it was demonstrated that molecular distortions could be used to advantage in modulating physical properties of the resulting complexes.29... 

Ruthenium dioxide, RuO, displays interesting physical properties such as a low resistivity and high thermodynamic stability [63]. Additionally, the compound exhibits excellent diffusion barrier properties [64] and is used in resistor applications [65]. Precursors for the deposition of RUO2 include ruthenium acetylacetonate, Ru3(CO)i2 (12) and RuCp2 (11) [63, 64]. However, only RuCp produces high quality RUO2 films [63].
