    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ylide

    An ylide (/ ˈ ɪ l aɪ d /) [1] or ylid (/ ˈ ɪ l ɪ d /) is a neutral dipolar molecule containing a formally negatively charged atom (usually a carbanion) directly attached to a heteroatom with a formal positive charge (usually nitrogen, phosphorus or sulfur), and in which both atoms have full octets of electrons.

  3. Pyridinium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyridinium

    Pyridinium refers to the cation [C 5 H 5 NH] +. It is the conjugate acid of pyridine . Many related cations are known involving substituted pyridines, e.g. picolines, lutidines, collidines.

  4. Pyridinium p-toluenesulfonate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyridinium_p-toluenesulfonate

    In organic synthesis, PPTS is used as a weakly acidic catalyst, providing an organic soluble source of pyridinium (C 5 H 5 NH +) ions.For example, PPTS is used to deprotect silyl ethers or tetrahydropyranyl ethers when a substrate is unstable to stronger acid catalysts.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particulate_organic_matter

    Particulate organic matter (POM): is the organic matter that retains evidence of its original cellular structure, [18] and is discussed further in the next section. Humus: is usually the largest proportion of organic matter in soil, contributing 45 to 75%. Typically it adheres to soil minerals, and plays an important role structuring soil.

  6. Soil organic matter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_organic_matter

    A portion of organic matter is not mineralized and instead decomposed into stable organic matter that is denominated "humus". [1] The decomposition of organic compounds occurs at very different rates, depending on the nature of the compound. The ranking, from fast to slow rates, is: Sugars, starches, and simple proteins; Proteins ...

    Fast cycle operate in the biosphere and slow cycles operate in rocks. Fast or biological cycles can complete within years, moving substances from atmosphere to biosphere, then back to the atmosphere. Slow or geological cycles can take millions of years to complete, moving substances through the Earth's crust between rocks, soil, ocean and ...

  9. Organic matter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_matter

    The organic matter in soil derives from plants, animals and microorganisms. In a forest, for example, leaf litter and woody materials fall to the forest floor. This is sometimes referred to as organic material. [9] When it decays to the point in which it is no longer recognizable, it is called soil organic matter.
