Abstract

The simplest geminal diol CH2(OH)2 serves as an important precursor to form atmospheric formic acid. CH2(OH)2 vapour can be generated by the evaporation of an aqueous formaldehyde solution, prepared by dissolving paraformaldehyde under reflux. Its rovibrational feature at 980–1100 cm−1 is consistent with the simulation and free of the intense interferences of H2O and CH2O.
