Strong Organic Ligands in Seawater: Peculiar Functional Groups in Oceanic Organic Matter-Synthesis

  • Chapter
Dynamics and Characterization of Marine Organic Matter

Part of the book series: Ocean Sciences Research (OSR) ((OCRE,volume 2))

Abstract

Marine chemists have been gradually paying increasing attention to strong ligands of low levels involved in dissolved organic matter (DOM) and particulate organic matter (POM) (Dawson and Duursma, 1981; Farrington, 1992). However, studies on the strong organic ligands in seawater have been focused upon only the field of metal speciation. Knowledge about the natural strong organic ligands has been scanty until now. In this report, the strong organic ligands are defined as organics with some functional groups to form complexes with metals under the conditions of seawater. The strong organic ligands, therefore, may be classified as chelators (Buffle, 1988), which can sterically form a claw-like structure with coordination bonds; EDTA (ethlenediaminetetra-acetic acid)chelation is the commonest example given. Such strong organic ligands may be closely related to the biogeochemical behavior of chemical constituents in the marine environments: first, strong ligands in DOM and POM play a significant role in controling chemical forms and levels of trace metals in seawater; second, strong ligands link the interaction between particulate matter and trace metals including radionuclides, which is related to removal processes of “so-called” particle-reactive metals (Hirose et al., 1992); third, strong ligands are related to the bioavailability of trace metals from marine organisms (Barber and Ryther, 1969; Hirose and Sugimura, 1985). On the other hand, if strong ligands are well characterized chemically, they may become an indicator for understanding the behavior of organic matter in marine environments.
