Funded Activity Summary

Host-guest structure of humic organic matter - the key to understanding soil organic properties. Soil and aquatic organic matter is important in plant growth, nutrient supply and water quality and in affecting pollutants and metal ions in the environment. Indeed, the survival of life on the planet depends on the way geo-organic matter functions. We have recently developed a new host?guest theory on the way this material binds important substances such as metal ions and pollutants. This project aims to use this theory to investigate the structure of these materials and how they work in Nature by understanding molecular composition at a level hitherto thought impossible.
