Abstract:
Multielectron excitations (MEE) have been investigated using X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) at the K-edge in 3d transition metal compounds. In the range of 50-70 eV above the absorption edge, a dichroic signal that is associated with MEE was identified. This phenomenon is thought to occur due to the super Coster-Kronig transition described as the final states (1s)1(3p)5(3d)n+2 resulting from the 3p --> 3d transitions. In order to verify this interpretation, XMCD measurements using the helicity-modulation method and calculations of the dichroic spectrum were performed based on this super Coster-Kronig transition.

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human eye.
¹H NMR: Complex Splitting
Splitting diagrams or splitting tree diagrams are routinely used to depict such complex couplings. While drawing splitting diagrams, the splitting with the larger coupling constant is usually applied first.
