First identification of unstable phosphino formic acid (H2PCOOH).

ABSTRACT: The hitherto elusive phosphino formic acid molecule (H2PCOOH) was detected for the first time in the gas phase. Theoretical calculations revealed an unexpected kinetic stability of H2PCOOH compared to the isovalent carbamic acid (H2NCOOH) although the replacement of a single nitrogen atom by phosphorus decreases the bond order from a partial double (-C[double bond, length as m-dash]N-) to a single (-C-P-) bond. This work provides a fundamental framework to explore the synthesis and stability of derivatives of carbonic acid (H2CO3), in which one or both hydroxyl groups (OH) are replaced by hydride moieties involving third row atoms.

First-Principles Density Functional Theory Calculations for Formic Acid Adsorption onto Hydro-Garnet Compounds.

Project description:Efficient and large-scale removal of humic acid (HA) from aqueous environments is required since HA causes human health and esthetic issues. Hydro-garnet compounds, Ca3Al2(SiO4)3-x (OH)4x , have recently been suggested as HA adsorbents not only due to their superior adsorption behaviors but also because they are ubiquitous element-derived compounds. In this study, the adsorption behavior of formic acid to hydro-garnets was investigated by means of first-principles density functional theory (DFT) computations. Formic acid was chosen owing to its reasonable computational cost and inclusion of carboxylic acid as HA. Comparisons of adsorption energies for formic acid among various compounds (including platinum and kaolinite) indicate that hydro-garnet compounds are promising due to their lower (more stable) adsorption energies. Also, the optimization of composition x enables selective adsorption of formic acid against solvent water molecules. Relationships between surface electronic/atomistic structures and adsorption properties are discussed.

Cobalt-Catalyzed Aqueous Dehydrogenation of Formic Acid.

Project description:Among the known liquid organic hydrogen carriers, formic acid attracts increasing interest in the context of safe and reversible storage of hydrogen. Here, the first molecularly defined cobalt pincer complex is disclosed for the dehydrogenation of formic acid in aqueous medium under mild conditions. Crucial for catalytic activity is the use of the specific complex 3. Compared to related ruthenium and manganese complexes 7 and 8, this optimal cobalt complex showed improved performance. DFT computations support an innocent non-classical bifunctional outer-sphere mechanism on the triplet state potential energy surface.

Uracil in formic acid hydrolysates of deoxyribonucleic acid.

Project description:1. When DNA is hydrolysed with formic acid for 30min. at 175 degrees and the hydrolysate is chromatographed on paper with propan-2-ol-2n-hydrochloric acid, in addition to expected ultraviolet-absorbing spots corresponding to guanine, adenine, cytosine and thymine, an ultraviolet-absorbing region with R(F) similar to that of uracil can be detected. Uracil was separated from this region and identified by its spectra in acid and alkali, and by its R(F) in several solvent systems. 2. Cytosine, deoxyribocytidine and deoxyribocytidylic acid similarly treated with formic acid all yielded uracil, as did a mixture of deoxyribonucleotides. 3. Approx. 4% of deoxyribonucleotide cytosine was converted into uracil by the formic acid treatment.

Concentrations of Formic Acid, Acetic Acid, and Ammonia in Newly Constructed Houses.

Project description:Herein, the concentrations of formic acid, acetic acid, and ammonia in samples of indoor air for 47 new houses were measured two weeks after completion. The houses were fabricated with light-gauge steel structures. The measurements were performed in living rooms and bedrooms without furniture and outdoors. Air samples were analyzed using ion chromatography. The mean values were 28 (living room), 30 (bedroom), and 20 ?g m-3 (outdoor air) for formic acid; 166 (living room), 151 (bedroom), and 51 ?g m-3 (outdoor air) for acetic acid; and 73 (living room), 76 (bedroom), and 21 ?g m-3 (outdoor air) for ammonia. The total values of the three substances accounted for 39.4-40.7% of the sum of chemical compound values. The analyzed compounds were indicated by two principal components (PC), PC1 (30.1%) and PC2 (9%), with 39.1% total variance. Formic acid, acetic acid, and ammonia were positively aligned with PC1 and negatively aligned with PC2. Factors such as room temperature, aldehydes, and phthalates were positively aligned with PC1 and negatively aligned with PC2. Furthermore, concentrations of formic acid, acetic acid, and ammonia were significantly and positively correlated with room temperature (p < 0.05).

Optimal Electrocatalytic Pd/MWNTs Nanocatalysts toward Formic Acid Oxidation.

Project description:The operating conditions such as composition of electrolyte and temperature can greatly influence the formic acid (HCOOH) oxidation reaction (FAOR). Palladium decorated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (Pd/MWNTs) were successfully synthesized and employed as nanocatalysts to explore the effects of formic acid, sulfuric acid (H2SO4) concentration and temperature on FAOR. Both the hydrogen adsorption in low potential range and the oxidation of poisoning species during the high potential range in cyclic voltammetry were demonstrated to contribute to the enhanced electroactivity of Pd/MWNTs. The as-synthesized Pd/MWNTs gave the best performance under a condition with balanced adsorptions of HCOOH and H2SO4 molecules. The dominant dehydrogenation pathway on Pd/MWNTs can be largely depressed by the increased dehydration pathway, leading to an increased charge transfer resistance (Rct ). Increasing HCOOH concentration could directly increase the dehydration process proportion and cause the production of COads species. H2SO4 as donor of H+ greatly facilitated the onset oxidation of HCOOH in the beginning process but it largely depressed the HCOOH oxidation with excess amount of H+. Enhanced ion mobility with increasing the temperature was mainly responsible for the increased current densities, improved tolerance stabilities and reduced Rct values, while dehydration process was also increased simultaneously.

A prolific catalyst for dehydrogenation of neat formic acid.

Project description:Formic acid is a promising energy carrier for on-demand hydrogen generation. Because the reverse reaction is also feasible, formic acid is a form of stored hydrogen. Here we present a robust, reusable iridium catalyst that enables hydrogen gas release from neat formic acid. This catalysis works under mild conditions in the presence of air, is highly selective and affords millions of turnovers. While many catalysts exist for both formic acid dehydrogenation and carbon dioxide reduction, solutions to date on hydrogen gas release rely on volatile components that reduce the weight content of stored hydrogen and/or introduce fuel cell poisons. These are avoided here. The catalyst utilizes an interesting chemical mechanism, which is described on the basis of kinetic and synthetic experiments.

Metal-free disproportionation of formic acid mediated by organoboranes.

Project description:In the presence of dialkylboranes, formic acid can be converted to formaldehyde and methanol derivatives without the need for an external reductant. This reactivity, in which formates serve as the sole carbon and hydride sources, represents the first example of the disproportionation of formate anions under metal-free conditions. Capitalizing on both experimental and computational (DFT) mechanistic considerations, the role of transient borohydride is highlighted in the reduction of formates and this reactivity was further exemplified in the methylation of TMP (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine) and in the transfer hydroboration reactions for the reduction of aldehydes.

Hydrolysis of Formyl Fluoride Catalyzed by Sulfuric Acid and Formic Acid in the Atmosphere.

Project description:Formyl fluoride (HFCO) is an important atmospheric molecule, and its reaction with the OH radical is an important pathway when degradation of HFCO is considered in earth's troposphere. Here, we study the hydrolysis of formyl fluoride (HFCO + H2O) with sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and formic acid (HCOOH) acting as catalysts by utilizing M06-2X, CCSD(T)-F12a, and conventional transitional state theory with Eckart tunneling to explore the atmospheric impact of the above-said hydrolysis reactions. Our calculated results show that H2SO4 has a remarkably catalytic role in the gas-phase hydrolysis of HFCO, as the energy barriers of the HFCO + H2O reaction are reduced from 39.22 and 41.19 to 0.26 and -0.63 kcal/mol with respect to the separate reactants, respectively. In addition, we also find that H2SO4 can significantly accelerate the decomposition of FCH(OH)2 into hydrogen fluoride (HF) and HCOOH. This is because while the barrier height for the unimolecular decomposition of FCH(OH)2 into HF and HCOOH is 31.63 kcal/mol, the barrier height for the FCH(OH)2 + H2SO4 reaction is predicted to be -5.99 kcal/mol with respect to separate reactants. Nevertheless, the comparative relative rate analysis shows that the reaction between HFCO and the OH radical is still the most dominant pathway when the tropospheric degradation of HFCO is taken into account and that the gas-phase hydrolysis of HFCO may only occur with the help of H2SO4 when the atmospheric concentration of OH is about 101 molecules cm-3 or less. Having an understanding from the present study that the gas-phase hydrolysis of HFCO in the presence of H2SO4 has very limited role possibly in the absence of sunlight, we also prefer here to emphasize that the HFCO + H2O + H2SO4 reaction may occur on the surface of secondary organic aerosols for the formation of HCOOH.
