High resolution X-Ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy(HRXRFS) has been extensively used as a chemical bonding probe for both solids and gases for quite some time. However there have been virtually no HRXRFS studies reported on liquid phase systems and particularly on solution systems. This seems somewhat surprising not only because this is an unexplored area, but because much of chemistry and chemical bonding occurs in solution. Furthermore, since HRXRFS is a “photon in - photon out” technique, providing one uses relatively energetic x-rays, the experimental techniques for performing these types of measurements are relatively straightforward, especially when compared to techniques which utilize charged particles.
