For the water gas shift reaction H/sub 2/O + CO ..-->.. CO/sub 2/ + H/sub 2/, homogeneous catalysts may be prepared from ruthenium carbonyl. Mixed Ru/Fe carbonyl catalysts are more active in basic solutions than either one of these carbonyls alone. Activities of those and other carbonyl catalysts are tabulated. The mechanism of the catalytic effect is discussed. (DLC)
