Molecular weight fractionation procedures were used to examine the possibility of organic‐inorganic complex formation during stagnation of a lake sediment system. Fe, Mg, and Mn were found to associate with fractions >500 molecular weight. No evidence was found for the occurrence of the ionic states of these metals in the anoxic environment used in this investigation. The results are discussed in relation to the behavior of soil humic compounds.
