- Title
X-ray spectroscopy: Transferring electrons to water.
- Authors
Nilsson, Anders
- Abstract
The article discusses a study which detects electron transfer between iron cations and water using X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). The study hydrates iron cations using XAS of the ion and recorded spectra include unusual regions of negative intensity. It notes that the valence electrons is an atom participating in bonding. It cites on the direct way to measure XAS using transmission detection where the X-ray intensity is measured after the X-ray beam has interacted. It states that the use of core-electron excitation hydrated iron cations in detecting ultrafast electron transfer to the coordinating water molecules.
