FORMIC ACID AND THE FORMATES.

Challenges in the Greener Production of Formates/Formic Acid, Methanol, and DME by Heterogeneously Catalyzed CO2 Hydrogenation Processes

The recent advances in the development of heterogeneous catalysts and processes for the direct hydrogenation of CO2 to formate/formic acid, methanol, and dimethyl ether are thoroughly reviewed, with special emphasis on thermodynamics and catalyst design considerations. After introducing the main motivation for the development of such processes, we first summarize the most important aspects of C...

Treatment of Warts with Topical Formic Acid

Cytenamide–formic acid (1/1)

IN THE CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF THE TITLE COMPOUND [SYSTEMATIC NAME: 5H-dibenzo[a,d]cyclo-hepta-triene-5-carboxamide-meth-anoic acid (1/1)], C(16)H(13)NO·CH(2)O(2), the cytenamide and solvent mol-ecules form a hydrogen-bonded R(2) (2)(8) dimer motif, which is further connected to form a centrosymmetric double-motif arrangement. The asymmetric unit contains two formula units.

Submillimeter Spectrum of Formic Acid

We have measured new submillimeter-wave data around 600 GHz and around 1.1 THz for the C isotopologue of formic acid and for the two deuterium isotopomers; in each case for both the trans and cis rotamer. For cis-DCOOH and cis-HCOOD in particular only data up to 50 GHz was previously available. For all species the quality and quantity of molecular parameters has been increased providing new mea...

Enzymic oxidation of formic acid.

Interest in the metabolic fate of formic acid has been renewed as the result of recent experiments showing active incorporation of carbon-labeled formate into normal body constituents of the pigeon (l-3) and the rat (4, 5). Prior to these findings, enzymes capable of catalyzing the oxidation of formic acid had been reported, widely distributed in plant and animal tissues (6). Only in the case o...
