Photoreduction of CO2 into transportable fuel like formic acid (HCOOH) is a great way of dealing with CO2's rising levels in the atmosphere. To aid in this mission, a research team chose an easily ...

For a carbon-neutral bioeconomy, processes are needed that can efficiently capture CO 2 and convert it into valuable products. Formic acid, or more specifically its salt, formate, is considered a ...

MOST text-books of organic chemistry contain the statement that formic acid and formates owe their reducing character to the presence of an aldehyde group in their molecule, quoting in support of this ...

The molecular structure of a catalytically active key intermediate is determined in solution by employing 2D IR spectroscopy measuring vibrational cross-angles. The formate intermediate (2) in the ...

Held together by only one carbon atom, formic acid is the simplest carboxylic acid. The market for this chemical is relatively small as well—a fraction of the demand for organic acids such as ...

Traditional chemistry textbooks present a tidy picture: Atoms in molecules occupy fixed positions, connected by rigid rods. A ...
