Summary: The interaction of Cu 2+ with C, N and O moieties in nanocomposites containing copper ions complexed in poly(amidoamine‐organosilicon), PAMAMOS, dendrimer networks was characterized using near edge X‐ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS). The effects on the 1s → π * and 1s → σ * orbital transitions were determined at the C, N and O K edges. The influence of Cu 2+ on the transitions of 1s → π *(NH) at 401 eV, and 1s → σ *(NC) type transitions at 412 eV within the N edge increased with increasing Cu 2+ content up to the theoretical limit of the copper‐accommodating capacity of the PAMAMOS dendrimer used. As ligands, the carbonyls were found to saturate at much lower Cu 2+ concentrations compared with those associated with N.NEXAFS spectrum of a PAMAMOS[4,1]DMOMS dendrimer network.
