Abstract

Abstract EXAFS spectroscopy is a useful method for determining the local structure around a specific atom in disordered systems. This technique provides information about the coordination number, the nature of the scattering atoms surrounding a particular absorbing atom, the interatomic distance between the absorbing atom and the backscattering atoms, and Debye–Waller factor. The measurements are done with high energy X-rays, which are normally generated by synchrotron radiation sources. The data analysis is facilitated by specially developed program packages suitable for evaluation purposes. EXAFS spectroscopy is employed in several fields for a variety of applications. Here the structural characterization of a series of amorphous μ-oxo-bridged metallophthalocyanine dimers is presented. It is found that the phthalocyanine macrocycle has significant influence in the spectra and the results obtained are in agreement with the well-known structure of phthalocyanine complexes.
