Wrong connectivity. Should be an ionic salt between Al3+ and three HCO2-. ChemNerd (talk) 17:14, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
- Are you sure it is a salt and does not form covalent bonds as other compounds do? --Leyo 22:53, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
- Well surely not via the C of the formates as the nom'd diagram illustrates if "aluminum formate" is the chemical. The diagram is..."aluminoformic acid" or something like that, with actual carboxylic acids. Lit-search for the title compound finds it is covalent,
likelyoften proposed as monomeric hexacoordinate Al with the three formates bidentate via their oxygens (doi:10.2240/azojomo0186). DMacks (talk) 02:16, 9 April 2014 (UTC)- ...but maybe a more complex bridged-dimer instead ([1]). DMacks (talk) 18:50, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
