Abstract
X-ray absorption spectra at the K-edge of copper have been studied in copper mixed ligand complexes having hydroxamic acid as one of the ligands. The X-ray absorption spectra have been recorded at BL-8 Dispersive Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (EXAFS) beamline at the 2.5-GeV INDUS-2 Synchrotron Source, RRCAT, Indore, India. The data obtained has been processed using EXAFS data analysis program Athena. The energies of the K absorption edge, chemical shifts, edge-widths and shifts of the principal absorption maximum in the complexes have been determined and discussed. The chemical shift data have been utilized to estimate effective nuclear charge on the absorbing atom. The normalized EXAFS spectra have been Fourier transformed. The position of the first peak in the Fourier transform gives the value of first shell bond length, which is shorter than the actual bond length as a result of energy dependence of the phase factors in the sine function of the EXAFS equation. This distance is thus the phase-uncorrected bond length and has also been determined by Lytle, Sayers and Stern's (LSS) graphical method. The results obtained from LSS and the Fourier transformation methods are comparable with each other. The first shell bond length has also been estimated by Lytle's and Levy's methods from the EXAFS data. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
