On the Origin of the Optical Properties of Humic Substances
Abstract
Absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy and laser photobleaching experiments were employed to probe the origins of the optical properties of humic substances (HS). Luminescence quantum yields and the wavelengths of maximum emission were acquired for Suwannee River humic acid (SRHA) and fulvic acid (SRFA) at an extensive series of excitation wavelengths across the ultraviolet and visible. Laser irradiation at a series wavelength across the ultraviolet and visible was further employed to destroy selectively chromophores absorbing at specific wavelengths, using absorption spectroscopy to follow the absorption losses with irradiation time. The results provide unequivocal evidence that the absorption and emission spectra of these materials cannot result solely from a simple linear superposition of the spectra of numerous independent chromophores. Instead, the long wavelength absorption tail of HS (>350 nm) appears to arise from a continuum of coupled states. We propose that this behavior results from intramolecular charge-transfer interactions between hydroxy-aromatic donors and quinoid acceptors formed by the partial oxidation of lignin precursors. We further propose that these donor-acceptor interactions may be a common phenomenon, occurring within all natural hydroxy- or polyhydroxy-aromatic polymers that form appropriate acceptors upon partial oxidation. Examples of such species include lignin, polyphenols, tannins, and melanins.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
