Identification of valence electronic states of aqueous acetic acid in acid-base equilibrium using site-selective X-ray emission spectroscopy.
Occupied valence electronic structures in the neutral and the anionic forms of aqueous acetic acid and their pH dependence under ambient condition are identified for the first time exploiting the site-selectivity of resonant X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES) in combination with calculation based on density functional theory (DFT).
