    The six platinum-group metals are ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, osmium, iridium, and platinum. They have similar physical and chemical properties, and tend to occur together in the same mineral deposits. [ 2 ]

  6. Ruthenium compounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruthenium_compounds

    Ruthenium compounds are compounds containing the element ruthenium (Ru). Ruthenium compounds can have oxidation states ranging from 0 to +8, and −2. The properties of ruthenium and osmium compounds are often similar. The +2, +3, and +4 states are the most common. The most prevalent precursor is ruthenium trichloride, a red solid that is ...

    Ruthenium (IV) oxide is the inorganic compound with the formula Ru O 2. This black solid is the most common oxide of ruthenium. It is widely used as an electrocatalyst for producing chlorine, chlorine oxides, and O 2. [1] Like many dioxides, RuO 2 adopts the rutile structure. [2][3]

  9. Refractory metals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractory_metals

    The physical properties of the refractory elements vary significantly because they are members of different groups of the periodic table. [ 6 ] [ 7 ] The hardness, high melting and boiling points, and high enthalpies of atomization of these metals arise from the partial occupation of the outer d subshell , allowing the d electrons to ...
