A new method to derive electronegativity from resonant inelastic x-ray scattering

Abstract: Electronegativity is a well-known property of atoms and substituent groups. Because there is no direct way to measure it, establishing a useful scale for electronegativity often entails correlating it to another chemical parameter; a wide variety of methods have been proposed over the past 80 years to do just that. This work reports a new approach that connects electronegativity to a spectroscopic parameter derived from resonant inelastic x-ray scattering. The new method is demonstrated using a series of chlor… Show more

“…Building on previous studies, RIXS results give additional information on the O K-edge indicating rearrangement of the O 2p band, suggesting a change in electronegativity of the oxygen Error bars are ± 10% of the respective value, which has been estimated by evaluating the pre-edge intensities for normalizations to five different points around the normalization point of the presented TEY spectrum of the pristine sample and thus accounting for variations due to its noise level anion 55 . The difference in the electronic character in oxygen are labelled as O l , O m and O n .…”

“…In fact, TFY measurements are seemingly essentially sensitive to the large MLCT to these ligands, which might explain the similarity of the corresponding XA spectra although NO is described in the literature as a much stronger ligand than O 2 . 27 For MbCO and MbCN, a strong fluorescence quenching happens which reflects additional charge transfers. For MbCN in particular, an increase in MLCT might contribute to lower the intensity of the most prominent spectral feature at the L 3edge ( Fig.…”
