The article reports on a ruthenium catalyst developed by researchers from the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel, which produces high-yield primary amines at a low temperature and pressure to amine synthesis directly from alcohols and ammonia with the elimination of water. The catalyst will allow the production of primary amines to become easier, environmentally friendlier and cheaper.

The article reports on the study of the researchers from the universities of Wisconsin-Madison and Maryland which assesses the effects of nanoparticle catalyst on fuel-cells. The study reveals that ruthenium saves energy in removing the carbon monoxide (CO) while lowering the temperature of hydrogen. It indicates that the nanoparticle increases the cell's lifetime associated with the decrease of CO.

The article discusses a catalyst composed of ruthenium core coated with a platinum shell that converts carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide in the presence of hydrogen more selectively and over 50 degrees Centigrade lower that other catalysts that mediate the same oxidation. This catalyst could result to other methods for preparing high-purity hydrogen as required for fuel cells.

The article reports that researchers at Caltech have synthesized hyperbranched polymers under mild conditions using an olefin metathesis reaction and starting with easily synthesized monomers. Researchers used a ruthenium catalyst to initiate the acyclic diene metathesis polymerization. Monomers functionalized with two or more acrylate groups and one terminal olefin provided branched structures.

The article reports on the development of a method for boosting the efficiency of ethenolysis, an olefin metathesis, by scientists from the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. The key is the use of benzoquinone, which reacts with species formed as the ruthenium-based catalyst used in ethenolysis decomposes. Lead researcher Robert Grubbs was named one of the three Nobel Prize recipients in 2005 for developing the ruthenium catalyst for this reaction.

Chemists have created a ruthenium complex that catalyzes the conversion of water to molecular oxygen, a reaction performed by plants and of great interest for developing renewable energy sources. Researchers have sought to model this natural oxidation, which occurs via a manganese tetramer, but few examples exist. Now, a team led by Antoni Llobet, chemistry professor at the University of Girona, in Spain has synthesized a promising compound containing two ruthenium atoms. The new complex turns water into molecular oxygen at a much faster rate than other recently reported ruthenium containing, water-oxidizing species.
