Uranyl formate

Uranyl formate is a compound that consists of uranyl ions (UO₂²⁺) and formate ions (HCOO⁻). It is often represented chemically as UO₂(HCOO)₂. This compound forms a coordination complex where the uranyl ion, which contains uranium in a +6 oxidation state, is coordinated by two formate anions. Uranyl formate is of interest in various fields including materials science and nuclear chemistry.
