This element is formed in a reaction for which a ruthenium (IV) oxide catalyst was introduced by Sumitomo, who sought to revive interest in the Deacon process, which predates electrolytic methods to form this element. This element is formed at the anode in the Castner-Kellner process and at the anode of a Downs cell. This element acts as a leaving group to allow the DNA-binding activity of both the platinum chemotherapy drug cisplatin and (*) mustard gas. This element can attack acetal resin and polybutene used in pipes, causing them to develop a brownish residue. One oxide of this element forms an anion present in bleach, and it is used as an additive to water principally in swimming pools.
