aThe peak energy is determined by the minimum of the second derivative.

bThe peak energy and intensity is determined based on the spectral deconvolution.

cThe intensity-weighted average energy is given here.

dCalculated from the difference of the thiolate peak energy and the intensity-weighted pre-edge peak energy.
