Thanks Rob.,

Good thought, but definitively Cu++; we get the right energy shift and the 
right shape for XANES (linear Cu+ is very distinctive). We actually maintain 
nice oxidising conditions (4 bar of air applied to the capillary), and the 
spectra were stable over time (slew scan mode, with ~5 minutes per scan, and 10 
scans collected). 

Note that Cu+ is not stable in solution unless you give it a ligand such as 
chloride; reduction to Cu+ in our solution most likely would result in 
precipitation of Cu(0) via disproportionation. No evidence for this at all.
