I have a problem about dissolving high-purity ruthenium powder, it is inactive against acids, aqua regia, only dissolves in fused alkalies but explosive....what sould I do?

If it's already high purity, why would you want to dissolve it?

I have to make standard solution of ruthenium, comercial ones are not acceptable

How concentrated does it need to be? You might get a few ppm just letting some of the powder set in distilled water.

It should be 1 mg/ml, for spectroscopic determination in some complex compounds.

Does the solvent matter? I talked with one of the inorganic chemistry profs in the department, and the only way you're going to get Ruthenium in aqueous solution is by alkaline oxidative fusion. (NaOH, Na2O2, KClO4...not a very nice mixture)
If organic solvents are ok, you might have some luck with benzene or cetain ethers. Ruthenium is used quite often in organometallic chemistry, check it out.
