Innovative Method Converts Hydrogen and CO2 to Formic Acid

A new method for biological hydrogen storage uses parts of the natural metabolism of acetic acid bacteria to convert hydrogen and carbon dioxide into formic acid. Additionally, the newly developed technology can be used to remove toxic carbon monoxide from hydrogen containing gas mixtures (e.g. synthesis gas) and to convert it to carbon dioxide, and consequently into formic acid.

Supersilylium-Cation Source as Super-Lewis Acid Catalyst and Polymerization Initiator

Scientists from Goethe University Frankfurt am Main synthesized the isolable ion-like silylium compound tBu3Si-F-Al(OC(CF3)3)3. The compound represents one of the strongest Lewis acids and acts as supersilylium cation source in solution. Additionally, it exhibits improved solid-state stability in comparison to similar compounds.
