I-Ruthenium yenye yeendlela zeplatinam. Eyona nto ibaluleke kakhulu kukwenza i-catalysts. IPlatinam-i-hlsheenium Catalysts ingasetyenziselwa ukukhangela iiseli ze-catalyze ye-tethanol pell kunye ne-carbon diokcoxide; I-Grubbs Catalysts ingasetyenziselwa ukuphendula kwe-eletchesin. Ukongeza, iikhawuntari ze-rutenium zinokusetyenziselwa ukwenza i-Reberich yefilimu kunye nokukhanya okuKhanyayo kwiiseli ze-DEE.

I-Ruthenium luhlobo lwesinyithi esihle kunye nomsebenzi obalaseleyo wokusebenza kwaye isetyenziswa ngeendlela ezininzi, ezifana nokuphendula kwe-hddrogeny kunye nokuphendula kwe-oxidation. Ukongeza kwiimpawu ze-rhenium, iingcingo ze-Nano-Ruthenium zineempawu ze-nano-joys kunye nomsebenzi ophezulu "weingcingo".
