Quality Control

Our Bis(Acetato)-(1,5-Cyclooctadiene)Ruthenium(Ⅱ) is manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high catalytic activity. Each lot undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including NMR, HPLC, and elemental analysis, to verify identity, purity, and absence of deleterious impurities. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting full specifications are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and easily oxidized; prolonged exposure to air or moisture must be avoided to maintain stability and catalytic performance.
