Investigating the Stability of Individual Carboxylate-Rich Alicyclic Molecules Under Simulated Environmental Irradiation and Microbial Incubation Conditions.

ABSTRACT: Understanding dissolved organic matter (DOM) relies on the development of methods capable of navigating its complexity. Although analytical techniques have continually advanced, the fate of individual compound classes remains nearly impossible to track with the current technology. Previously, we reported the synthesis of carboxylate-rich alicyclic molecule (CRAM) compounds that shared more similar analytical features with DOM than previously available standards. Here, we adopt an alternative approach to the conventional use of DOM as a bulk material by subjecting our synthesized CRAM compounds to simulated solar irradiation and microbial incubation experiments alongside molecules with chosen biological or chemical relevance. Irradiation experiments typically showed that compounds bearing o
