Organoruthenium chemistry is the chemistry of organometallic compounds containing a carbon to ruthenium chemical bond. The interest is mostly academic although several organoruthenium catalysts are of commercial interest. The chemistry has some stoichiometric similarities with organoiron chemistry, as iron is directly above ruthenium in group 8 of the periodic table. The most important reagents for the introduction of ruthenium are ruthenium(III) chloride and triruthenium dodecacarbonyl.
