X‐ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) of aqua (diethylenetriamine) (isonicotinato) copper(II) complex has been investigated. The crystal structure of the complex is unavailable. The X‐ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectrum of the complex has been compared with those of the standard compounds to estimate the coordination geometry and oxidation state of copper. This study indicates that the copper center has +2 oxidation state and that it may be penta or hexa‐coordinated. The spectrum has been further compared with those of the earlier studied complexes having square‐pyramidal geometry. Similarity has been observed between them indicating that the complex should have penta‐coordinated square‐pyramidal geometry. The same inference has been obtained from the study of the characteristic pre‐edge and XANES features. This inference has been further examined by analysis of the extended X‐ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectrum. The experimental EXAFS data has been fitted with three different theoretical models for tetra‐coordination, penta‐coordination, and hexa‐coordination. The tetra model is unable to provide a satisfactory fit so it has been ignored. Although the penta and hexa models give comparable results, the parameters obtained indicate that the penta‐coordinated model fits better to the experimental data than the hexa‐coordinated model. This penta‐coordinated model has been further fitted to the experimental data by allowing the coordination number to vary. Such fitting also shows that the penta‐coordinated model is a satisfactory model for the studied complex. The obtained values of mean‐square disorder indicate that the force constants are different for the equatorial and axial bonds. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
