Polar constituents of oils and bitumens – new applications to Petroleum Geochemistry and (Palaeo)Biogeochemistry

Polar constituents of oils and bitumens – new applications to Petroleum Geochemistry and (Palaeo)Biogeochemistry

Polar organic molecules are defined by differences in electronegativity between their atomic constituents and the resulting asymmetrical structures. They represent the basic chemical building blocks of life. Having a strong affinity to water (H[subscript]2O), which is essential for life on Earth, po...
