In chemistry, molecules with a "flat" geometry are often stable enough to support a wide range of reactions. But in the quantum world, that's not technically true.

Formic acid is classified as a molecule with all of its atoms arranged in a single plane. A Goethe University research team, ...

Formic acid is considered a molecule in which all atoms lie in a single plane. A research team at Goethe University, together with cooperation ...

Formic acid dimers represent a paradigmatic model for studying the intricacies of hydrogen bond dynamics. When two formic acid molecules associate through dual hydrogen bonds, they form a stable, ...

Researchers at Goethe University Frankfurt have discovered a surprising role for formic acid in the human gut: The small molecule acts as a kind of “taxi” for electrons – both within bacteria and, ...

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 ...

A research group at KAIST has developed an engineered E. coli strain that converts formic acid and CO2 to pyruvate and produces cellular energy from formic acid through reconstructed one-carbon ...
