Summary
The kinetics of reduction of ruthenium(III) by sodium tetrahydroborate in aqueous acidic medium have been studied. The effect of variation in the concentration of substrate (RuCl3·3H2O), pH, and reductant (BH4 −1) has been studied. The activation parameters were evaluated. Based on a one-electron transfer, the mechanism involves the reduction of ruthenium(III) by hydrogen.
