Notes:
   a  The solid phases are: A = LiCHO2•H2O + Sr (CHO2)2•2H2O; B = LiCHO2•H2O + Ba(CHO2)2.

Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   The isothermal method was used. Three weeks were allowed for equilibration. The lithium content of both phases was determined by flame photometry in the presence of 0.1 M Al(NO3)3.1) Sr2+ was determined complexometrically. To determine Ba2+ the total CHO2- content was determined by titration with alkali2 and the Ba2+ content was calculated by difference. The composition of the solid phases was determined by Schreinemakers'method and controlled crystallo-optically.

Source and Purity of Materials:
   The formates were prepared by neutralization of formic acid with the corresponding oxides, hydroxides or carbonates.
