摘　　要：This paper systematically studies the reaction mechanisms of formic acid catalyzed by transition metal oxide MoO. Three different reaction pathways of Routes I, Ⅱ and Ⅲ were found through studying the reaction mechanism of transition metal oxide MoO catalyzing the formic acid. The transition metal oxide MoO interacts with the C=O double bond to form chiral chain compounds（Routes I and Ⅱ） and metallic compound MoOH2（Route Ⅲ）. In this paper, we have studied the mechanisms of two addition reaction pathways and hydrogen abstraction reaction pathway. Routes I and Ⅱ are both addition reactions, and their products are two different chiral compounds MoO3CH2, which are enantiomeric to each other. In Route Ⅲ, metal compounds MoOH2 and CO2 are obtained from the hydrogen abstraction reaction. Among them, the hydrogen abstraction reaction occurring in Route Ⅲ is more likely to occur than the others. By comparing the results of previous studies on the reaction of MxOy-＋ ROH（M= Mo,W; R = Me, Et）, we found that the hydrogen abstraction mechanism is completely different from the mechanism of oxygen-containing organic compound catalyzed by MxOy.This paper systematically studies the reaction mechanisms of formic acid catalyzed by transition metal oxide MoO.
