Abstract
X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) has been studied at the K-edge of copper in copper(II) mixed ligand complexes, having tetramethylethylenediamine (tmen) as one of the ligands, viz., Cu(tmen)(gly)ClO4, Cu(tmen)(bipy)(ClO4)2 and Cu(tmen)(phen)(ClO4)2. The spectra have been recorded at the dispersive XAFS beamline (BL-8) at the 2.5 GeV INDUS-2 synchrotron, RRCAT, Indore, India. The data obtained has been processed and analyzed using the computer program Athena. It has been observed that K-edge has been found to split in two edges, K and K', in each of the complex. The chemical shift has been utilized to determine the oxidation state of copper in the complexes and also the effective nuclear charge (ENC). The EXAFS data has been analyzed to obtain the bond lengths in the complexes using Levy's, Lytle's and Lytle, Sayers and Stern's (LSS) methods. The first peak in the Fourier transform of the spectra gives the value of first shell phase uncorrected bond length. The results obtained from the Fourier transformation and LSS methods are in good agreement.
