Host-guest structure of humic organic matter - the key to understanding soil organic properties

腐殖有机质的主-客体结构--理解土壤有机质性质的关键。土壤和水生有机物对植物生长、养分供应和水质以及影响环境中的污染物和金属离子都很重要。事实上，地球上生命的生存取决于地球有机物质的功能。我们最近开发了一个新的主机？客体理论是关于这种材料结合重要物质的方式，如金属离子和污染物。该项目旨在利用这一理论来研究这些材料的结构，以及它们如何在自然界中工作，通过了解分子组成，达到迄今为止认为不可能的水平。

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.
