Fluoroformic acid is a fluoride derivative of formic acid that has been the subject of a number of theoretical studies in chemistry.[1][2][3] As of 1985, elementary textbooks generally state that it does not exist due to its rapid decomposition into carbon dioxide and hydrofluoric acid, although some experiments have attempted to isolate it.[1][needs update]
The anion, fluoroformate, has been confirmed to exist and be stable.[4] Its structure has been characterized.[4]
