Structure of the Formate Ion
Structure of the Formate Ion is a scholarly work, published in 1936 in ''Nature''. The main subjects of the publication include methyl formate, chemical education, chemistry, ion, crystallography, formate, and crystal structure. Sarkar2 proposed a structure for the formate ion in solution, while retaining the normal structure for the acid, its esters and the formate ion in the crystal; they suppose that on solution the formate ion undergoes the prototropic change .
