This work was supported by the Natural Sciences and
Engineering Research Council (NSERC) of Canada through a
discovery grant awarded to A.P.G. The University of Saskatch-
ewan is also thanked for supporting this work through a new-
faculty start-up grant awarded to A.P.G. Dr. Robert Scott
(Department of Chemistry, University of Saskatchewan) is
thanked for providing access to the TGA. Dr. Robert Gordon
is thanked for help in carrying out XANES experiments at PNC/
XSD-CAT, sector 20, at the APS. PNC/XSD facilities at the
Advanced Photon Source and research at these facilities are
supported by the US Department of Energy—Basic Energy
Sciences, a Major Resources Support grant from NSERC, the
University of Washington, Simon Fraser University, and the
Advanced Photon Source. Use of the Advanced Photon Source is
also supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of
Science, Office of Basic Energy Sciences, under Contract DE-
AC02-06CH11357.
