Single-crystal X-ray determination, elemental analysis, and mass-spectroscopy are used for the characterisation of complexes and products. Cyclic voltammetry, EXAFS (Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure Spectroscopy), NMR, UV-vis spectroscopy, and IR can also be used to determine electronic properties of the ligands and their complexes [7],...

Bulk processes can also be probed by an appropriate photon spectroscopy. For example, EXAFS provides an excellent spatial resolution with respect to the atomic surroundings. The information from Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure spectroscopy is contained in the oscillations of the X-ray absorption coefficient near an absorption edge e.g., the K- or L-edge). 

Extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectrum Part of an X-ray absorption spectrum that is used to identify the coordination of atoms, estimate bond lengths, and determine the adsorption complexes on the surfaces of adsorbents. EXAFS spectra may provide useful information on the speciation (valence state), surface complexes, and the coordination of arsenic on adsorbents (e.g. (Randall, Sherman and Ragnarsdottir, 2001 Ladeira, et al. (2001) Teixeira and Ciminelli (2005) Kober, et al. (2005)) (compare with X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectra, and X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy (XAFS)).

This mechanism is in agreement with the mechanism proposed by others (Belin et al., 1989 and 1995 Martin et al., 1986a, Willermet et al., 1992) using extended X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy (EXAFS) and infrared spectroscopy. When ZDDP is present in the lubricant formulation, the radial distribution function (RDF) indicates that crystalline iron oxide diffuses into the polyphosphate network material. 

During these temperature and gas treatments, processes like reduction, oxidation and sintering take place. In Chapter 2 it is clarified what processes are responsible for the final metal particle size and particle size distribution. This is done using a combination time resolved extended X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy (quick EXAFS) and mass spectrometry. 

Another contribution to variations of intrinsic activity is the different number of defects and amount of disorder in the metallic Cu phase. This disorder can manifest itself in the form of lattice strain detectable, for example, by line profile analysis of X-ray diffraction (XRD) peaks [73], 63Cu nuclear magnetic resonance lines [74], or as an increased disorder parameter (Debye-Waller factor) derived from extended X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy [75], Strained copper has been shown theoretically [76] and experimentally [77] to have different adsorptive properties compared to unstrained surfaces. Strain (i.e. local variation in the lattice parameter) is known to shift the center of the d-band and alter the interactions of metal surface and absorbate [78]. The origin of strain and defects in Cu/ZnO is probably related to the crystallization of kinetically trapped nonideal Cu in close interfacial contact to the oxide during catalyst activation at mild conditions. A correlation of the concentration of planar defects in the Cu particles with the catalytic activity in methanol synthesis was observed in a series of industrial Cu/Zn0/Al203 catalysts by Kasatkin et al. [57]. Planar defects like stacking faults and twin boundaries can also be observed by HRTEM and are marked with arrows in Figure 5.3.8C [58],...
