Ruthenium tetraoxide (RuO4) is a volatile, highly oxidizing, yellow solid compound with a pungent odor. It is synthesized through the oxidation of ruthenium metal or its salts using strong oxidants like potassium permanganate or sodium bismuthate in acidic solutions. RuO4 is highly reactive and unstable, readily decomposing to lower oxides of ruthenium. This compound is of interest for its potential applications in organic chemistry as a powerful oxidant, particularly in selective oxidation reactions. It is also studied for its role in ruthenium-based catalysis, specifically in areas like olefin metathesis and oxidation reactions. However, due to its explosive nature and high toxicity, its use in industrial applications is limited. Research on RuO4 primarily focuses on understanding its reactivity, exploring its potential applications in specific chemical processes, and developing safer handling procedures.'
