A catalytic process for the methoxycarbonylation of olefins where formic acid is the CO source. The process includes the steps of forming a reaction mixture where methanol and formic acid are added at a volume ratio in the range from 1.55:0.45 to 1.1:09. The methanol-formic acid ratio enhances both the rate of conversion and methyl ester yield ether produced. The catalysts used is a palladium/benzene-base diphosphine ligand complex.

Cohesive carbon assemblies are prepared by obtaining a functionalized carbon starting material in the form of powder, particles, flakes, loose agglomerates, aqueous wet cake, or aqueous slurry, dispersing the carbon in water by mechanical agitation and/or refluxing, and substantially removing the water, typically by evaporation, whereby the cohesive assembly of carbon is formed. The method is suitable for preparing free-standing, monolithic assemblies of carbon nanotubes in the form of films, wafers, discs, fiber, or wire, having high carbon packing density and low electrical resistivity. The method is also suitable for preparing substrates coated with an adherent cohesive carbon assembly. The assemblies have various potential applications, such as electrodes or current collectors in electrochemical capacitors, fuel cells, and batteries, or as transparent conductors, conductive inks, pastes, and coatings.
