Abstract
Radial distribution functions (RDF) reconstructed from XAFS data (Cu K-edge at low and
room temperatures) are compared with RDFs, constructed from XRD crystallographic data of Cu
polyimidazole thioether complexes. New EDA software package possibilities are used to reconstruct
RDFs: (i) model independent RDF reconstruction, and (ii) multi shell - cumulant fitting. RDFs
obtained from XRD data are broadened with Debye Waller factors calculated from XAFS. This way the
structural disorder (set of distances) and thermal (vibrational) disorder are quantitatively taken into
account in each RDF reconstruction approach. Within experimental error the three sets of RDFs
agree well with each other for the Cu-N bonds (N = imidazole) and the Cu-S bonds (S = thioether),
which are in the range of 1.8 - 2.3 Å. However, they differ significantly for weakly bound ligands
whose bond lengths are in the range 2.3-2.7 Å.
