✦ Synopsis

The fluorination of the ruthenium oxides RuO 2

and RuO 4 was investigated by using the fluorinating agents F2, ClF 3, or KrF 2 in HF solution,

Among the most noticeable results, KrF2 was found to be powerful enough to react with RuO 4 and to transform it into ruthenium oxide tetrafluoride RuOF4.

This oxide fluoride of ruthenium VI so prepared was characterized by elemental analysis, X-ray powder diffraction and infrared absorption spectroscopy.

Results concerning the fluorination of RuO2 are also presented.
