Used as a catalyst in organic synthesis, particularly in oxidation reactions, C–H activation processes, and selective transformations. Exhibits high efficiency in converting alcohols to carbonyl compounds and supports production of fine chemicals, including bioactive compounds and pharmaceuticals. Also applied in materials science for depositing ruthenium-containing thin films via chemical vapor deposition, useful in semiconductor and electronic device fabrication. Shows potential in electrocatalysis for fuel cells due to its stability and electron-transfer properties.
