Tin formate
Has somebody some infos on Tinformat? Synthesis? I couldnt find anything on google. Dont think Tin powder and Formic acid will work.
Tinformat would be an interresting route to Formaldehyde if heated to 200C it forms pure Formaldehyde without by products.

I would try double displacement with tin sulfate and calcium formate

Hiya.
I have tried making formaldehyde this way, and it doesn't work... At least, I couldn't get it to work!
I spent a lot of time on it and then eventually gave up, as even with the much appreciated help of the SM community, it seemed like it was just
impractical.
Here is my thread on the topic:
https://www.sciencemadness.org/talk/viewthread.php?tid=15540...
You should find everything you need there regarding the synthesis, or in some of the attached threads/papers.
@RustyShackleford, interesting idea, I imagine it would work, but I have never tried it so I'm not sure.

Taken from the abstract
| Quote: | A paste of freshly prepared hydrous
tin(I1) oxide was refluxed with aqueous formic acid of various concentrations (150 ml. of 30-
100% w/w) under oxygen-free nitrogen until it dissolved (ca. 2 hr.). The solution was filtered
hot and cooled, and the white crystalline product filtered off, washed, and dried as in method (1).
Pure crystalline tin(t1) formate was obtained by this method but the yields (maximum 50%)
were poor |
The rest of the artical talks about checking purity, decomposition temps, solubility
And why they think other attempts failed to produce good results
"You can't do that" - challenge accepted

SplendidAcylation. I had the idea with zinc formate too. But in Karl A. Hoffmann experminets he wrote you must lit CO2 gas throught the reaction
chamber to remove the Formaldehyde if not it reacts too Methylformiat or Methanol. Maybe the same problem with Tin formate. Oh and he wrote it only
work with weak basic elements the stronger the base less does it work because the formation of methanol is prvered. And Tin format would the only
metal who forms pur Formaldehyde.
