I_rrItroduction Core electron spectroscopy of liquids and solu-

Sons has now provided a large body of data on core level and Auger shifts for ionic species and pure liquids_ These shifts (between the free state and the Iiquid or dissolved state) are related to the potential at the site of the electronic transition and the dielectric response of the medium upon the transition_ ,The verticaI nature of photoekctron and Auger transitions implies that omy the highfrequency part of the dielectric response is represented in the shift. The potential and the dielectric response has ~-a functional dependence on. the medium structure and hence on temperature, cona&ration -and different solvent quantities related to statist@ thermodyna&s.~In the present contribution we evahtate a model which formulates the photoelectron and Auger shifts for ionic sohttions as statistical expectation values of the potential _ These expectation values invoIve the: radial ion-atomic and angular ion-dipoI& distribution functions as 0301-0104/85/$03.30 Q EIsevier Science Pub&hers

As shown in the present paper the statisticai model gives valuabIe information on the nature of the salvation shift for core photoehzctron and -Auger transitions and enables a partitioning of these shifts into physically well-defmed contributions The combined use of electron binding energy and Auger energy data and a parallel analysis with the statistical model is profitable in this respect_

analysis

As for intermolecular binding energies there are two basic theoretical chemical approaches for the cahxriation of phase transition shifts (ET!%) of electronic bin&n= ener+s (BEG); the perturbational approach and the supermolecuhxr approachIn the perturbational approach one can partition the intermokdar contributions into physicaBy meaningful quantities, viz Coulomb, dispemion, induction and exchange energges and smaller mixing terms_ For the electronic binding energy PTS these quantities should be evaluated differentially between initial and f& states. which for general systems becomes an elaborate task to carry through For tie evaluation of the ETS in ionic sotutions. however. several simplifications may be undertaken, viz neglect of d%persios short-range exchange, couphng between initial and exterttitl induction effects and negIect of the charge transfer part of the induction energy These simplifications stem from the fact that the Coulomb and induction (polarization) parts of the PTS are an order of

magnitude larger than in neutral molecular liquids or solutions_ As discussed below they are. better motivated for cation than for anion soIutions_ Supermolecuhu and perturbational models are microscopical in the sense that they account for specific electronic interactions and solvent structure_ Dielectric models utilize on the other hand macroscopic data_ viz dielectric constants and salvation energies. in estimating the J?TS_ In its simplest form represented by the Born approximation [lj the dielectric model completely neggects the ordering of the soiven: around the dissolved ion_ E..tensions of dielectric models incorporating some considerations of specific structure have been proposed by Duke et al. [2,3] and applied to the ETS of solid organic compounds. Supermolecular cahxdations on the FTS of ionic solutions have been carried out by Arbman et al. and are reported in ret [a)_ The BE salvation shift originates from the potential at the site of ionization and from the external repolarization that follows from the change of the ionic the-e_ Both quantities evidently depend on solvent structure_ At the time for the (instantaneous) ionization this structure can be represented by various distribution functions. which, in some cases can be obtained from diffraction experiments or from statistical simulation techniques_ In the statistical model the BE shift is evaluated as an expectation value over radial atomic and dipole an$e distribution function g&RR) and X,(e). g,K(RK) gives the densitynormal&d probability of fmding the solvent atom K at a distance R, from the ion I and X,(B) gives the probability correlation between the solvent mokcuie dipole an&e and the ionic field for ion-mole&e pairs with a center-of-mass distance less than or equal to the radius of the first salvation shell_ Mathematical deftitions of these functions are giwzn in refs. [5;6]_ We introduce the basic pokization and Coulomb quantities:

Chemical shifts in free molecules and solids have previously been analyzed by means OF Born-Haber cycles invoking thermochemical heat of Formation (solvation) data and the 2 + L equivalent cores approximation This approach For salvation shirts in liquids and soIutions involving combined binding and Auger energg data was developed in reF_ ill]_ An important particularity of this scheme For iiquids or solution results from the stmctural reorientation of the medium between the initial and final states of the ionization_ A Born-Haber cycle for core ionization in ionic solutions is displayed in fig lStarting out From the bare ion (here K’) in solution au alternative path to the corresponding iouized species is given by Fiit dissolving the ion Followed by ionization and solution of the ionized species The last step is hypothetical in the sense that the lifetime of a core-hole species is too short For a nuclear rekation to occur_ Adopting the 2 -t- 1 approximation the cycle can akmatively be closed by the sokation energy of the corresponding ion of one higher ck-e unit (here Ca’*)_ Since photoionization is vertical with only tlte high-Frequency part of the dielectric response induded, the last cycle leaves out a quantity referring to the change in equiliirium stmctmz of the K* and Ca” ions The cycks are expressed by the

In the statistical model cq_ (15) equaIs 2(P)_ The orbital energy shift is a result of the static and induced-solvent potential_ Assuming spherically averaged polarizabilities the statistical expectation value of the latter quantity (dipole potential) can be evaluated as

between the statistical model and

From the above it is clear that the ESCA analysis allows the different contributions to the solvation energy to be decomposed_ This rests on the simultaneous measurements of Auger and photoelectron binding energy shifts and the assumption that saturation effects between first and second ionization steps can be neggected [expressed in eqs_ (15)-(18)]. In the perturbational model, described in section 2, the Coulomb and relaxation components can be directly evaluated by the calculation of the (P) (cf. AESI) and the (V) (cf. ArSUr) quantities_ The accuracy of this approach evidently depends on the approximation undertaken, as described in section 2, and of the quality of the employed distribution functions_ We apply the present analysis to the sodium ion_ Basic theoretical and experimental values are found in table l_ The use of eq_ (15) gives a relaxation contribution to the glycol solvation energy of 3.35 eV, which leads to an induced potential contribution to the orbital energy shift of 6.70 eV, cf_ eq. (16) This in turn leads to a static contribution to Ae of 235 eV, cf_ eq_ (17) Comparing with the experimental solvation energy of 39 eV [13] one fmds a strain energy of 1.8 eV. The statistical model calculation for the sodium ion in aqueous solution gives a relaxation energy of 2-79 eV and a static potential contribution of 4-02 eV_ This gives an induced potential contribution to the orbital enshift of 558 eV_ Comparing with

the solvation energy of 3.91 eV for sodium i0tn.m water [13], eq. (18) Bredicts a strain v&e of%&:‘ .: .__ in&is-~ -. Although the theore&aI and &&rimental data. are ob:ained for different solvents they a&of the same magnitude and follow similar trends as can . be seen in table I_ Thus de observation of a~line5r relationship between the BE shift and inverse ionic radius is theoretically confirmed.‘ Only when the stat?t;%tical nature of the solvent structure is considered can this relationship be accounted for. Most of the differences in the BE shifts for the=various ions can be allocated to the first solvation shell, where the solvent structure is highly ordered, whereas beyond &is region the weak structure gives (V) and (P) contributions of similar m&gnitudes for the different ions. The polarization and Coulomb contributions work cooperatively for the BE solvation shifts, producing negative shifts for the cations and positive for the anions. Concerning the AE shifts one finds that the polarization and Coulomb contributions add up to large positive shifts for the~cation.., while for the anion shifts the two contribtttions may or may not work cooperatively depending in this case on the ground state charge_ In contrast to the BE shifts the AE shifts will differ substantially in magnitude betweeu anions and cations of- the same absolute charge, cf. table l_ The agreement with experiment for the AE shift is satisfactory for the Na’ ion considering that the values are bbtamed for different solvents_ The shifts for the fluorine ion constitute an exception from the theoretical (water) and experimental (glycol) agreement. It is plausible that short-range effects are more important for anions than for cations. Fluorine forms a very short hydrogen bond with the solvent, which may be of consequence for the nc@ct of exchange and charge transfer interactions Also the approximation given by spherically averaging of the atomically decomposed polarizab&ties is more crucial in this case_ The cumuIative radial polarization contributions to BE shift for Na* in aqueous solution are given in fig. 2_ The effect of the first solvation shell edge c&r clearly be discerned in the plot. More than one third of the total electronic polarization energy is

investigationk as a prerequisite A major advaktge with a perturbational approach to solvatioti shifts is that it lends itself to a statistical formulation as has been proposed in the present work_ This is criticaI for the analyGs of the BE and AE shifts alone, but makes aIso possible an extension of this analysis to deal with effects on the shifts of tcmperature and concentration variations in the solvent and to various broadening mechanisms of the solution energg levels_
