Palladium Chloride (PdCl2) by XPS

Abstract

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) spectra of palladium chloride (PdCl2) are presented. Ground PdCl2 powder was pressed into Al foil and analyzed with a Surface Science Instruments SSX-101 M-Probe ESCA instrument using monochromatized Al Kα x rays. Spectra include a survey scan, the Pd 3d, 3p, 3s, 4s, 4p regions, the Cl 2p, 2s, and valence band regions, and the Pd MNN and MNV Auger transitions.
