In-Situ X-Ray Absorption Spectroscopic Studies of Ions at Oxide-Water Interfaces by Gordon E. Brown Jr., George A. Parks, Catherine J. Chisholm-Brause

“…Direct, in-situ measurements of the average distances, numbers, and identities of first- and second-neighbors surrounding the sorbed atoms in these samples were derived from the experimental data. – The results for Co2⊕ on γ-Al2O3 and TiO2, at pH 6.8, indicate that Co2⊕ forms inner-sphere complexes, that it does not sorb as a three-dimensional precipitate or diffuse into the oxide, and that it forms multi-nuclear complexes on γ-Al2O3 but smaller polymers or monomeric complexes on TiO2. – Results for Co2⊕ on γ-Al2O3 provide the first, direct structural evidence for multi-nuclear metal sorption complexes on an oxide surface. …”
