Abstract
X-ray absorption edge spectra constitute a very tantalizing set of data since they are usually the easiest part of the x-ray absorption spectrum to measure in a complex chemical system. In this talk we focus on the measurement of absorption spectra for heavy atoms (principally copper) in low-symmetry environments. Our motivation is to understand how metallo-proteins “do their thing.” Before getting to specific model systems, we discuss some of the theoretical problems in general.
