Synthesis

edit

Synthesis of ruthenium(IV) tetrachloride is formed by the action of chlorine gas on ruthenium(III) chloride at 750 °C:

RuCl₃ + 0.5Cl₂ → RuCl₄

The RuCl₄ is collected on a liquefied air cooled condenser and decomposes above -30 °C.^[1] The reaction was determined to have the following thermodynamic properties:

ΔH°₂₉₈ = 36.6 kcal/mol (enthalpy)
ΔS°₂₉₈ = 32.8 entropy units (entropy change)
ΔC°_p = -6.6 cal/mol degree (change in heat capacity at constant pressure)
S°₂₉₈ = 99.3 entropy units

The degree signs indicate standard state.
