It has been well accepted that humic acids in soils comprise both aromatic and aliphatic structural units that harbor mainly oxygenated functional groups such as carboxylic acids, aldehydes, ketones, and hydroxyl groups. Recent mass spectral data obtained from electrospray ionization-Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (ESI-FTICRMS) suggest that the main functional groups in humic acids are carboxylic acids bound to both alicyclic and condensed aromatic molecules. It was suggested that these structural entities originate from oxidation of lignin. To provide additional support, detailed structural characteristics were obtained here using several multi-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques to observe the molecular connectivity of humic acid components, with a focus on carboxylic acids in particular. The humic acid sample examined had been shown to exhibit structural characteristics similar to a larger set of soil humic acids. In this study, many carboxylic acid resonances were found to correlate with protons that could be assigned to aliphatic and alicyclic chemical shift regions. Functional groups with heteroatoms such as alcohols, some olefins and an assortment of methyl groups were found to correlate within 2-3 bonds of carboxylic acid groups. The collection of structural components and their proximity to a variety of carboxylic groups supports the occurrence of carboxylated alicyclic molecules as important elements of the aliphatic portion of soil humic acids and a pathway from lignin is consistent with recent findings.
