Ligand-Sensitive But Not Ligand-Diagnostic: Evaluating Cr Valence-to-Core X-ray Emission Spectroscopy as a Probe of Inner-Sphere Coordination

Abstract: This paper explores the strengths and limitations of valence-to-core X-ray emission spectroscopy (V2C XES) as a probe of coordination environments. A library was assembled from spectra obtained for 12 diverse Cr complexes and used to calibrate density functional theory (DFT) calculations of V2C XES band energies. A functional dependence study was undertaken to benchmark predictive accuracy. All 7 functionals tested reproduce experimental V2C XES energies with an accuracy of 0.5 eV. Experimentally calibrated, D… Show more

“…The picture becomes more complex in mixed coordination spheres, as both the nature of the ligand as well as variations in metal-ligand distance are known to influence the spectra. 31,39,46,51 Figure 3 (right) also shows the calculated VtC XES spectra, for the series of Cu proteins. The trends from the calculations generally agree well with experiment, with the exception of CusF (Met 2 His), where the intensity of the high energy VtC feature seems to be overestimated.…”

“…Also shown are the values observed in experiment. 15,[64][65][66][67][68] This provides a measure of the capability of the calculations to predict the spectra with the correct absolute energy scale. The transition energies computed with the B3LYP functional are too low, and the extent that the experimental values are underestimated increases with the nuclear charge of the absorbing atom.…”

“…6, 7 K-edge (Metal 1s → valence/continuum) X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) in particular has found widespread use in determining physical oxidation states of transition metal centres and qualitatively defining ligand geometries about these centres. 8-12 Weak “pre-edge” features in transition metal K-edge XAS are conventionally assigned as metal 1s → nd transitions.…”
