Thanks Rob.,
Good thought, but definitively Cu++; we get the right energy shift and the right shape for XANES (linear Cu+ is very distinctive). We actually maintain nice oxidising conditions (4 bar of air applied to the capillary), and the spectra were stable over time (slew scan mode, with ~5 minutes per scan, and 10 scans collected).
Note that Cu+ is not stable in solution unless you give it a ligand such as chloride; reduction to Cu+ in our solution most likely would result in precipitation of Cu(0) via disproportionation. No evidence for this at all.

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.

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,
