Notes:
   a  The molality values were calculated by the compilers.
   b  The solid phases are: A = Cu(CHO2)2•4H2O; B = Y(CHO2)3•2H2O.

Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   The isothermal method was used. One month was allowed for equilibration. The Y3+ and Cu2+ contents were determined complexometrically using diethyldithiocarbamate.1 The composition of the solid phases ws determined by the Schreinemakers method.

Source and Purity of Materials:
   The formates were obtained by neutralizing dilute formic acid with p.a. grade Y(OH)3 and basic copper carbonate.

Estimated Errors:

   Temperature: Not given.
