23and the formates of Ca, Cd, and Sr have elastic and thermoplastic properties.Bivalent metal formates could be used as precursors for the production of catalysts because they show excellent miscibility in the solid state, i.e., they form mixed crystals that dissociate at relatively low temperatures (about 300 °C) to form the respective oxides and mixed oxides.There are also additional smaller-scale uses of metal formates.The wide interest in the applications and uses of metal formates will lead to an interest in seeking methods for the preparation of these materials.Solubility data for the metal formates will be helpful in devising the methods of preparation.Therefore, this volume has been prepared to present and evaluate solubility data for the binary, ternary and multicomponent systems containing metal formates in aqueous and in nonaqueous solutions.
