✦ Synopsis


Molecular characterization

of two kerogen isolates (Messel and Kimmeridge Clay), two kerogen-rich shales (Green River and Maoming) and a coal, (Loy Yang) was undertaken using selective chemical degradation with ruthenium tetroxide (RuO,). The RuO, oxidation gave extracts which were soluble in dichloromethane and contained series of straight chain monocarboxylic acids, sc,w-dicarboxylic acids, branched mono-and Isoprenoid acid C,,-C21
