Abstract
The advancement of sustainable photoredox catalysis in synthetic organic chemistry has evolved immensely because of the development of versatile and cost-effective reagents. In recent years, a substantial effort has been dedicated to exploring the utility of formic acid salts in various photochemical reactions. In this context, formates have demonstrated diverse capabilities, functioning as reductants, sources of carbonyl groups, and reagents for hydrogen atom transfer. Notably, the CO2 ⋅- radical anion derived from formate exhibits strong reductant properties for cleaving both C-X and C-O bonds. Moreover, these salts play a pivotal role in carboxylation reactions, further highlighting their significance in a variety of photochemical transformations. The ability of formates to serve as reductants, carbonyl sources, and hydrogen atom transfer reagents reveal exciting possibilities in synthetic organic chemistry. This minireview highlights an array of captivating discoveries, underscoring the crucial role of formates in diverse and distinctive photochemical methods, enabling access to a wide range of value-added compounds.

Abstract
Polyoxometalates (POMs) are a fascinating group of anionic metal-oxide clusters with a broad variety of structural properties and several catalytic applications, especially in the conversion of bio-derived platform chemicals. H8 [PV5 Mo7 O40 ] (HPA-5) is a unique POM catalyst that ideally links numerous fascinating research fields for the following reasons: a) HPA-5 can be synthesized by rational design approaches; b) HPA-5 can be well characterized using multiple analytical tools explaining its catalytic properties; and c) HPA-5 is suitable for multiple important catalytic transformations of bio-based feedstock. This Review combines the fields of synthesis, spectroscopic, electrochemical, and crystallographic characterization of HPA-5 with those of sustainable catalysis and green chemistry. Selected catalytic applications include esterification, dehydration, and delignification of biomass as well as selective oxidation and fractionation of bio-based feedstock. The unique HPA-5 is a fascinating POM that has a broad application scope for biomass valorization.

Abstract
Transfer hydrogenation (TH) of unsaturated hydrocarbons with formic acid (FA) is an attractive processing pathway for the reduction of lignocellulosic pyrolysis oils. The low solubility of hydrophobic bio-oil species in water and FA in oil necessitates the use of a biphasic system as the reaction environment. Here, we report the effects of Pd/silica catalyst surface wettability on the TH reaction rate. Modification of the surface with short chain (C1-C4) alkyl silanes resulted in an increase in the reaction rate as compared to the unmodified catalyst. In contrast, modification of the surface with sulfonate (hydrophilic) and C18 alkyl silanes (hydrophobic) resulted in a decrease in the reaction rate as compared to the unmodified catalyst. The results are discussed in terms of the catalyst interfacial activity and relative affinity of the reagents to the Pd active sites. An observed change in the apparent reaction order in styrene for a hydrophilic catalyst suggests that changing catalyst surface wettability from hydrophilic to hydrophobic resulted in a switch from a transport-limited to a kinetic-limited reaction regime.

Abstract
The shift from fossil carbon sources to renewable ones is vital for developing sustainable chemical processes to produce valuable chemicals. In this work, value‐added formamides were synthesized in good yields by the reaction of amines with C2 and C3 biomass‐based platform molecules such as glycolic acid, 1,3‐dihydroxyacetone and glyceraldehyde. These feedstocks were selectively converted by catalysts based on Cu‐containing zeolite 5A through the in situ formation of carbonyl‐containing intermediates. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first example in which all the carbon atoms in biomass‐based feedstocks could be amidated to produce formamide. Combined catalyst characterization results revealed preferably single CuII sites on the surface of Cu/5A, some of which form small clusters, but without direct linking via oxygen bridges. By combining the results of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spin‐trapping, operando attenuated total reflection (ATR) IR spectroscopy and control experiments, it was found that the formation of formamides might involve a HCOOH‐like intermediate and .NHPh radicals, in which the selective formation of .OOH radicals might play a key role.

Abstract
Performing carbonylation without the use of carbon monoxide for high-value-added products is an attractive yet challenging topic in sustainable chemistry. Herein, effective methods for producing linear aldehydes or alcohols selectively with formic acid as both carbon monoxide and hydrogen source have been described. Linear-selective hydroformylation of alkenes proceeds smoothly with up to 88 % yield and >30 regioselectivity in the presence of single Rh catalyst. Strikingly, introducing Ru into the system, the dual Rh/Ru catalysts accomplish efficient and regioselective hydroxymethylation in one pot. The present processes utilizing formic acid as syngas surrogate operate simply under mild condition, which opens a sustainable way for production of linear aldehydes and alcohols without the need for gas cylinders and autoclaves. As formic acid can be readily produced via CO2 hydrogenation, the protocols represent indirect approaches for chemical valorization of CO2 .
