Ruthenium

Electro-deposition using black rhodium or ruthenium is the first technique. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Many of our advances in ruthenium catalyst development were the result of applying the techniques developed earlier in our group in the study of other complex catalytic processes. ❋ Unknown (2006)

One of the best examples in recent years, tetracarbonly-diruthenium fulvalene, requires the use of ruthenium, which is rare and expensive. ❋ Ars Technica (2011)

This has led materials scientists to include yet more elements, such as ruthenium, or reduce the concentrations of others, such as chromium, in an attempt to control the formation of such phases. ❋ Unknown (2010)

If the catalyst is toxic, as it usually is when platinum-metals such as ruthenium, rhodium and palladium are used, then it must be removed completely from the synthesized product using costly purification techniques. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Bismuth, used in lead-free solder, has doubled in price in two years, while the price of ruthenium, used in resistors and disc drives, has risen sevenfold in a year. ❋ Unknown (2007)

Ever heard of the ruthenium rush, the bismuth bonanza or the indium stampede? ❋ Unknown (2007)

The fibers are made from a polymer with ruthenium-based molecules using a complex technique called – electrospinning – when a small droplet of polymer solution is placed on a metal needle tip followed by application of a high voltage between the tip and gold electrodes in a silicon base placed a few millimeters away. ❋ Unknown (2007)

The fibers are made of a polymer spiked with ruthenium molecules in a process dubbed ‘electrospinning.’ ❋ Unknown (2007)

In my lecture I discussed many of the developments from this point that let to the discovery of the family of ruthenium based metathesis catalysts and I named key members of the group who contributed directly to their development. ❋ Unknown (2006)

Deutsche Bank is trading ruthenium, an obscure metal used in fountain pens. ❋ Unknown (2008)

We also developed early commercial sources and later commercially viable methods for the production of the well defined ruthenium based catalysts. ❋ Unknown (2006)

We pursued the ruthenium based catalysts since they did not suffer many of the instability problems that had limited the use of the earlier tungsten and molybdenum based catalysts. ❋ Unknown (2006)

Mike Giardello, in addition to developing the first commercially viable route to a ruthenium metathesis catalyst, has played a major role in establishing Materia, Inc., where many of the commercial applications of the ruthenium technology – and other metathesis based products – were developed. ❋ Unknown (2006)

The desire for ease of use drove the early development of the ruthenium catalysts. ❋ Unknown (2006)

Developers are currently exploring platinum/ruthenium catalysts that are more resistant to CO. ❋ Unknown (2007)

A new breakthrough came in 1992 when Grubbs published his discovery of a catalyst based on the metal ruthenium. ❋ Unknown (2005)

The researchers then mixed pro-resilin with a ruthenium catalyst under a light, which knitted together units of the amino acid tyrosine within the molecules. ❋ Unknown (2005)
