I think everyone might be able to help if you first give a more detailed explanation of how you extracted the data from the those papers as that might have much more influence

Hope that helps,

Chris

I am guessing that the features of XANES is mainly decided by the bond lengths, ligands and oxidation states of the core atom. The intensity of these features may be influenced by the multiple scattering from the neighbouring atoms beyond the first coordination. Can I conclude that the Zn speciation in my sample ‘A’ has a similar first coordination as other work ‘B’, but the coordination environment beyond the first coordination may be different.
