A series of nitrogen K-edge XAS data obtained for coordination complexes of diverse transition metals is used to calibrate computational pre-edge peak energies and to afford estimates of metal–ligand covalencies. The approach is extended to probe an inner-sphere aminyl radical ligand.

ABSTRACTX-ray absorption spectroscopy is used to determine valence and site symmetry for all the 3d transition metals in fused quartz prepared by the flame hydrolysis method. The results are compared with optical data on the same samples with generally good agreement.

The properties of halogen bonds (XBs) in solid-state I2X−and I4X−materials (where X = Cl, Br) are explored using donor K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) to experimentally determine the degree of charge transfer in such XB interactions. The degree of covalency in these bonds is substantial, even in cases where significantly weaker secondary interactions are observed. These data, in concert with previous work in this area, suggests that certain halogen bonds have covalent contributions to bonding that are similar to, and even exceed, those observed in transition metal coordinate bonds. For this reason, we suggest that XB interactions of this type be denoted in a similar way to coordination bonds (X → Y) as opposed to using a representation that is the same as for significantly less covalent hydrogen bonds (X⋯Y).

SummaryIn order to better understand the mechanisms of actinide uptake by specific biomolecules, it is essential to explore the intramolecular interactions between the cation and the protein binding site. Although this has long been done for widely investigated transition metals, very few studies have been devoted to complexation mechanisms of actinides by active chelation sites of metalloproteins. In this field, X-ray absorption spectroscopy has been extensively used as a structural and electronic metal cation probe. The two examples that are presented here are related to two metalloproteins in charge of iron transport and storage in eukaryote cells: transferrin and ferritin. U(VI)O
