Aa. Nesterov et al., AN INVESTIGATION OF POTASSIUM MU-OXOBIS[PENTACHLORORUTHENIUM(IV)] IN HYDROCHLORIC-ACID SOLUTION UNDER MICROWAVE IRRADIATION, Mendeleev communications (Print), (3), 1998, pp. 95-96
A study of the ruthenium(IV) and (III) species in HCl solution under m
icrowave irradiation shows a decrease in hydrolysis time, depolymerisa
tion and reduction of ruthenium(IV) to ruthenium(III) by an order of m
agnitude, as compared with conventional heating of solutions in a boil
ing water bath.
