Abstract
\begin{wrapfigure}{r}{0pt} \includegraphics[scale=0.75]{1.eps} \end{wrapfigure} The vibrational spectroscopy of formic acid, F, has seen new and important experimental and theoretical impulses in the past six years.\footnote{% (exp) K. Hull, T. Wells, B. E. Billinghurst, H. Bunn, P. L. Raston, \textit{AIP Adv.} \textbf{2019}, \textit{9}, 015021; K. A. E. Meyer, M. A. Suhm, \textit{Chem. Sci.} \textbf{2019}, \textit{10}, 6285; A.

Phys.} \textbf{2021}, \textit{154}, 064301.% } In a combined experimental and theoretical approach, the vibrational database of F below 4000\,{\wn} is reviewed and extended to 189 band centres [$\sim$300\% increase], including a plethora of highly-excited vibrational states, both torsional conformers, and several isotopologues [$^1$H, $^2$H, $^{12}$C, $^{13}$C, and $^{16}$O].\footnote{% A. Nejad, PhD thesis, submitted (2022).% } Essentially, the vibrational characterisation of its skeletal modes below 3500\,{\wn} can be regarded as complete which is also an important stepping stone in understanding the complex vibrational dynamics of its cyclic dimer.\footnote{A. Nejad, K. A. E. Meyer, F. Kollipost, Z. Xue, M. A. Suhm , \textit{J. Chem. Phys.} \textbf{2021}, \textit{155}, 224301% } A new key insight is that the impact of the OH bend-torsion resonance [\nub{5} and 2\nub{9}] on the entire vibrational dynamics of \textit{trans}-HCOOH is more far-reaching than previously believed. Beyond 3500\,{\wn}, which is also near the expected \textit{trans}${\rightarrow}$\textit{cis} isomerisation threshold, this resonance polyad is indicated to play an important role in the perturbations of the OH stretching fundamental [\nub{1}]. In this contribution, new spectroscopic developments are summarised and promising future research directions for F are discussed. In particular, its importance and suitability for the purpose of benchmarking electronic and nuclear vibrational methodologies are highlighted.
