Molecularly-uncharacterized organic matter comprises most reduced carbon in soils, sediments and natural waters. The origins, reactions and fates of these ubiquitous materials are relatively obscure, in large part because the rich vein of geochemical information that typically derives from detailed structural and stereochemical analysis is yet to be tapped. This discussion highlights current knowledge about the origins and characteristics of molecularly uncharacterized organic matter in the environment and outlines possible means by which this structurally uncharted frontier might best be explored.
