Abstract
The optimum conditions for preparation of stable solutions of ruthenate and osmate, after alkaline fusion of ruthenium(IV) compounds, ruthenium metal and osmium metal in a silver crucible, have been determined. The molar absorptivities of ruthenate and osmate are 1.74 × 103 1. mole−1.cm−1 at 465 nm (Ru) and 2.75 × 103 1.mole−1.cm−1 at 340 nm (Os) in 2M sodium hydroxide. A differential spectrophotometric method has been developed for determination of ruthenium in ruthenium dioxide, lead ruthenite and bismuth pyroruthenate. Simultaneous spectrophotometric determination is proposed for ruthenium and osmium. The other platinum metals interfere seriously only when present in > 1:1 w/w ratio to Ru.
