Full iron K-edge emission spectrum measured with the von Hamos spectrometer with high signal-to-noise quality (200 min integration). (a) Kα XES of [FeII(bpy)3]2+ 10 mM in acetonitrile. (b) Kβ mainline XES. Blue line: ground state. Red line: laser-excited signal at 100 ps delay. Green filled area: difference signal. The ground state and laser-excited signals were smoothed and interpolated to combine with the signal from the high-spin reference complex {[Fe(phen)2(NCS)2], extracted from Haldrup et al. (2012)}. Black dashed line: difference signal between high- and low-spin complexes, used to extract the excitation fraction in our experiment (see text). (c) Valence-to-core region of the XES. The raw signals are presented and compared with the result of calculations (March et al., 2017). |
