d–d excitations in detail: High-resolution 2p3d resonant X-ray emission spectroscopy (RXES) allows the observation of more as well as more intense d–d excitations than UV/Vis spectroscopy does as demonstrated on cobalt(II) carboxylates. Together with ligand field multiplet (LFM) calculations this allows their detailed electronic structure description, while 2p X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) cannot discriminate these transition metal compounds.
