Chemical shifts in the Kα1,2 and Kβ1,3 X-ray emission spectra for halogen compounds of elements with atomic numbers ranging from 22 to 29 were measured using a wavelength-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer

This study aimed to investigate the chemical shifts and full widths at half maximum (FWHM) of the K alpha 1,2 and K beta 1,3 X-ray emission lines in selected halogen compounds of elements with atomic numbers ranging from 22 to 29. A Wavelength-Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (WDXRF) spectrometer was employed for this analysis. The FWHM differences (Delta FWHM) of these emission lines were calculated by using the corresponding metallic element as a reference. The data revealed a clear pattern, showing larger chemical shifts for fluorine-containing compounds compared to chlorine-containing ones. In addition, the K beta 1,3 lines generally show larger chemical shifts and wider full widths at half maximum (FWHM) compared to the K alpha lines. The chemical shift also tends to increase as the number of coordinating ligand atoms rises.
