The most intense ruthenium signal, Ru 3d typically overlaps with the Carbon 1 s-Signal. Aside from the carbon contributions in the range of 284.5 eV to 290.2 eV, doublets for Ru(0), RuO2, hydrated RuO2 and RuO3 were used for the peak fit. All of these peaks show a high degree of asymmetry and were therefore described by a LF(0.6,1,200,900) peak shape in case of RuO3 and RuO2 or LF(0.25,1,45,280) in case of hydrated RuO2. The relative signal positions and peak shapes are given in the attached table:
