Polarization-dependent damping of the fine structure in the CuK-edge spectrum of creatinium tetrachlorocuprate [(creat)2CuCl4] in the X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) region is shown to be due to atomic vibrations. These vibrations can be separated into two groups, depending on whether the respective atoms belong to the same molecular block; individual molecular blocks can be treated as semi-rigid entities while the mutual positions of these blocks are subject to large mean relative displacements. The effect of vibrations can be efficiently included in XANES calculations by using the same formula as for static systems but with a modified free-electron propagator which accounts for fluctuations in interatomic distances.

A series of Ni dithiolene complexes Ni[S2C2(CF3)]2n(n= −2, −1, 0) (1,2,3) and a 1-hexene adduct Ni[S2C2(CF3)2]2(C6H12) (4) have been examined by NiK-edge X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) and extended X-ray absorption fine-structure (EXAFS) spectroscopies. Ni XANES for1–3reveals clear pre-edge features and approximately +0.7 eV shift in the NiK-edge position for `one-electron' oxidation. EXAFS simulation shows that the Ni—S bond distances for1,2and3(2.11–2.16 Å) are within the typical values for square planar complexes and decrease by ∼0.022 Å for each `one-electron' oxidation. The changes in NiK-edge energy positions and Ni—S distances are consistent with the `non-innocent' character of the dithiolene ligand. The Ni—C interactions at ∼3.0 Å are analyzed and the multiple-scattering parameters are also determined, leading to a better simulation for the overall EXAFS spectra. The 1-hexene adduct4presents no pre-edge feature, and its NiK-edge position shifts by −0.8 eV in comparison with its starting dithiolene complex3. Consistently, EXAFS also showed that the Ni—S distances in4elongate by ∼0.046 Å in comparison with3. The evidence confirms that the neutral complex is `reduced' upon addition of olefin, presumably by olefin donating the π-electron density to the LUMO of3as suggested by UV/visible spectroscopy in the literature.

AbstractX-ray absorption spectra (XAS) contain information in the LIII near-edge region on filling of the absorber d-band, and in the extended fine-structure region on the physical environment of the absorber. We report here an evaluation of the effect on platinum LIII edges of preparation in clusters with a high fraction of Pt atoms at the surface. We also report the effects on platinum and rhenium LIII edges from addition of copper. These effects are surprisingly small.We have also re-evaluated extended x-ray absorption fine-structure spectra (EXAFS) of platinum and rhenium in alumina-supported platinum-rhenium bimetallic catalysts. A novel feature of this new analysis was the requirement that interatomic distances, coordination numbers, and Debye-Waller type factors maintain certain physically necessary relationships among themselves. This procedure decreased the number of free variables and increased the amount of information returned by the analysis.

Local structures around gadolinium atoms in rare-earth (RE)-doped InGaGdN thin films were studied by means of fluorescence extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) measured at the Gd LIII-edges. The samples were doped with Gd in-situ during growth by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy (PAMBE). Gd LIII-edge EXAFS signal from the GaGdN, GdN and Gd foil were also measured as reference. The X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectra around Gd LIII absorption edge of InGaGdN samples observed at room temperature indicated the enhancement of intensities with the increase of Gd composition. Further EXAFS analysis inferred that the Gd atoms in InGaN were surrounded by similar atomic shells as in the case of GaGdN with the evidence indicating majority of Gd atoms substituted into Ga sites of InGaGdN. A slight elongation of bond length for the 2nd nearest-neighbor (Gd–Ga) of sample with higher Gd concentration was also observed.

We demonstrate the applicability of third- and fifth-order harmonics of free-electron laser (FEL) radiation for soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy in the transmission mode at SACLA BL1, which covers a photon energy range of 20 to 150 eV in the fundamental FEL radiation. By using the third- and fifth-order harmonics of the FEL radiation, we successfully recorded near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectra for Ar 2p core ionization and CO2 C 1s and O 1s core ionizations. Our results show that the utilization of third- and fifth-order harmonics can significantly extend the available photon energies for NEXAFS spectroscopy using an FEL and opens the door to femtosecond pump-probe NEXAFS using a soft X-ray FEL.
