Chemical and thermodynamic data for ruthenium and many of its inorganic compounds and aqueous solutions have been critically reviewed. Values for thermodynamic properties are recommended when both the chemistry and thermodynamics are sufficiently well characterized to warrant confidence in them. Systems reviewed included metallic Ru, phase diagrams with metals and non-metals, chalcogenides, oxides, halides, oxyhalides, oxysulfur, and oxynitrogen compounds. Aqueous systems considered are aquo ions, hydrolyzed cations, oxyanions, halide complexes, and sulfate complexes. The oxide, halide, oxyhalide, and aqueous systems (both noncomplexing and complexing media) are described in considerable detail because of their great complexity and because of conflicting claims and questionable analyses in some published reports. Recommendations are made for data that need to be measured or remeasured. 480 references, 1 figure, 9 tables.
