It is important to understand the nature of formic acid (HCOOH) adsorption on transition metal surfaces so as to elucidate the mechanism of its decomposition in direct HCOOH fuel cells. Despite the overwhelming interest, not much is known about the adsorption behaviour of HCOOH on Pd(111) surfaces. This work presents a theoretical study of monomeric HCOOH adsorption on Pd(111) surfaces in the gas phase. The stable configurations of the adsorbed molecules on the surface are displayed, with some omitted in previous studies. Our calculations show that the most stable configuration is that with the hydroxyl O and H on C in HCOOH binding to the surface. The modes of adsorption of HCOOH dimer are presented on Pd(111) for the first time. It is found that both the monomer and dimer of HCOOH weakly interact with the surface. Our results are intended to provide valuable insights to understand the reactivity of HCOOH on Pd(111).

Synthesis of RNA nucleobases from formamide is one of the recurring topics of prebiotic chemistry research. Earlier reports suggest that thymine, the substitute for uracil in DNA, may also be synthesized from formamide in the presence of catalysts enabling conversion of formamide to formaldehyde. In the current paper, we show that to a lesser extent conversion of uracil to thymine may occur even in the absence of catalysts. This is enabled by the presence of formic acid in the reaction mixture that forms as the hydrolysis product of formamide. Under the reaction conditions of our study, the disproportionation of formic acid may produce formaldehyde that hydroxymethylates uracil in the first step of the conversion process. The experiments are supplemented by quantum chemical modeling of the reaction pathway, supporting the plausibility of the mechanism suggested by Saladino and coworkers.
