Abstract:This article presents research targeted toward the isolation and detection of unique molecular structures from what is believed to be the world's most complex organic mixture: dissolved organic matter (DOM). Hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) was used to separate Suwannee River DOM (SRDOM) into 80 fractions, simplified to the extent that detection with nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) results in many sharp signals that are indicative of individual compounds, some of which are identifiable with multidimensional NMR. Parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) of fluorescence excitation-emission matrices (EEMs) was additionally employed on HILIC-simplified fractions to further confirm the effectiveness of the HILIC separations as well as draw insight into how structural characteristics relate to DOM fluorescence signals. Findings suggest that material believed to be derived from both cyclic and linear terpenoids was dominant in the most hydrophobic fractions as were the majority of the fluorescence signals, whereas hydrophilic material was highly correlated with carbohydrate-type structures as well as high contributions from amino acid fluorescence. NMR spectra of DOM, typically featureless mounds, are substantially more detailed with HILIC-simplified fractions to the point where hundreds of signals are present and 2D NMR correlations permit significant structural identifications.
