Iron sulfide gives rise to unusual reducing reactions: some dependent on FeS/H2S synergism [NO3- --> NH3; HC=CH --> H2C=CH2, H3C-CH3; -CH2-CO- --> -CH=CH-, -CH2-H2-; HS-CH2-COOH --> CH3-COOH; others dependent on FeS alone [HS-CH2-CH2-X --> CH2=CH2 (where X = OH, SH, or NH2)]. The experimental conditions are geochemically plausible: 100-degrees-C, aqueous, nearly neutral, and fastidiously anaerobic. These reactions establish additional facts of soil chemistry, organic geochemistry, and the global nitrogen cycle. Further, they point to the common evolutionary denominator of geochemistry and biochemistry.
