Cp. Mehta et Ar. Chetal, CORRELATION BETWEEN X-RAY CHEMICAL-SHIFT AND PARTIAL CHARGE IN SOME COBALT SYSTEMS, Physica status solidi. b, Basic research, 179(2), 1993, pp. 579-584
The chemical shift of the X-ray K-absorption edge of cobalt in the sys
tems COSO4.2H(2)O, CoCl2.6H(2)O, CO2O3, CO3O4, CoO, COS, and (NH4)(2)S
O4.COSO4.6H(2)O is studied using a 40 cm Cauchois type bent crystal sp
ectrograph of transmission type. On the basis of least-square regressi
on analysis a cubic relationship between the X-ray chemical shift and
the partial charge on the absorbing ion is suggested. The relation is
utilized for estimating the partial charge on the Co ion in the system
(NH4)(2)SO4.COSO4.6H(2)O.
