Hello again.
This is my final statement (I hope) concerning CuCl!
Marco, it seems to me that your data (as well as the data from the 4th reference you mention, Takaoka et al., Chemosphere, 2005) is contaminated by Cu(II). CuCl being highly sensitive to air (and to light as well), Cu(I) is quickly oxydised. The large peak between 8990 and 9000eV in the spectrum corresponds to the white line of Cu(II). And since this white line is larger than Cu(I)'s one, you obtain this too small pre-edge.
Hope that can help.
Thanks again.
Cheers.

Many thanks for the exhaustive and quick answers. There is still this doubt
about the XANES shape, but at least I have some more references to deal with
it.
Cheers.
