Hi Joel,

How much edge shift are you seeing between your foil and the solution?
Cu+2 is about 4.5 eV up from Cu metal...you seeing about that much?

Cu+2 can photoreduce...I know Cu+(aq) isn't stable, but maybe some complex is forming?
Just a thought...CN=2 and I think linear Cu+

-R.

Capillary made or what?

 Fluo, 0.5 wt% Cu.

What is the Cu concentration? Could be self absorption.

 Dear list,

We are trying to fit EXAFS from data collected on solutions within a capillary. The capillary has OD 1mm, ID 0.8mm, and was placed horizontally. The beam is 1x2 mm (VxH).

Fitting the copper reference foil, we get the expected SO2 value of ~0.7.

However, the solution containing the Cu(II) aqua ion gives a coordination of 2, instead of the expected 5-6. So our SO2 for this solution is apparently ~0.25. 

I couldn’t find a discussion of the effect of geometry (in our case cylindrical rather than planar) on SO2. Is it possible that the low SO2 is a result of the odd geometry?

Confused as ever,

JOEL
