The CrVI oxidation of a mixture of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and oxalic acid (OXH2) in aqueous acid media occurs much faster than that of either of the two substrates alone (DMSO reacts extremely slowly under the experimental conditions). In the mixture, both substrates undergo oxidation simultaneously in a ternary complex of CrVI through a three electron transfer step (i.e. CrVI → CrIII), two electrons from DMSO and one electron from oxalic acid. Hitherto there has been a debate regarding the existence of a 3e transfer in a single step. The micellar effect may be considered as a probe for 3e transfer in a single step.

The present study investigates a process for the selective production of hydrogen from the catalytic decomposition of formic acid in the presence of iridium and iridium–palladium nanoparticles under various conditions. It was found that a loading of 1 wt.% of 2% palladium in the presence of 1% iridium over activated charcoal led to a 43% conversion of formic acid to hydrogen at room temperature after 4 h. Increasing the temperature to 60 °C led to further decomposition and an improvement in conversion yield to 63%. Dilution of formic acid from 0.5 to 0.2 M improved the decomposition, reaching conversion to 81%. The reported process could potentially be used in commercial applications.
