“…As such, they may otherwise be expected to exhibit similar pre-edge features but this is not the case due to differences in spin state, with lowspin Co III (Zarić & Niketić, 1991) and high-spin Fe II (de S. Room-temperature ($ 293 K) XAS spectra of aqueous solutions of K 3 [Fe(ox) 3 ] (15 mM) with 0.2 M KCl from static solutions (green and pink) and solutions subject to a 41 : 40 pulse flow (blue, three spectra). Barros & Friedberg, 1966;Wendlandt & Simmons, 1966). For the low-spin, (t 2g ) 6 , complex the pre-edge transitions will be of 1s !…”
