Inositol hexaphosphate (IP 6 ) was isolated from Tokyo Bay sediments and studied by a combined technique of hypobromite oxidation, anion-exchange chromatography. 1 H nuclear magnetic resonance, and gas chromatography. The concentrations of IP 6 in surface sediments (0-2.5 cm) range from 0.06 to 0.20 mol · P/g, and average 0.12 mol · P/g, a small portion of the total organic phosphorus (<2.2%). Three types of IP 6 isomers were identified: myo->> scyllo-> chiro-IP 6 in order of their abundance, similar to that reported for soils. It was confirmed by laboratory experiments that IP 6 is susceptible to biological degradation and disappears quickly before and during burial under marine conditions. This result strongly supports the low concentrations of IP 6 observed in Tokyo Bay sediments and suggests that IP 6 is not a significant component of refractory organic-P in marine sediments.
