X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy study of electron and spatial structure of mono- and binuclear Ni(II) carboxylate complexes with nitrogen-containing ligands

Ni3s, Ni3p and Ni2p X-ray photoelectron spectra of mono- and binuclear carboxylate complexes of nickel with various geometry of metal atoms environment are obtained. The spectra are calculated in an isolated ion approximation. The dependence of the spectral profiles and the structure of the charge-transfer satellites on the structure of the immediate environment of nickel atoms is established. The data obtained support the results of X-ray diffraction and magnetic studies. (C) 2011 Elsevier By. All rights reserved.
