Abstract:
Near edge x-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectra at the boron K-edge were measured for aqueous boric acid, borate, and polyborate ions, using liquid microjet technology, and compared with simulated spectra calculated from first principles density functional theory in the excited electron and core hole (XCH) approximation. Thermal motion in both hydrated and isolated molecules was incorporated into the calculations by sampling trajectories from quantum mechanics∕molecular mechanics simulations at the experimental temperature. The boron oxide molecules exhibit little spectral change upon hydration, relative to mineral samples. Simulations reveal that water is arranged nearly isotropically around boric acid and sodium borate, but the calculations also indicate that the boron K-edge NEXAFS spectra are insensitive to hydrogen bonding, molecular environment, or salt interactions.
