Abstract
Polarized measurements of oriented single crystals can be used to simplify the interpretation of X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectra by permitting a direct determination of the symmetry properties of a particular transition. We have utilized this technique to study the XANES spectra for several first-row transition metal complexes. Applications to the weak, 1s→3d transition, to intense near edge features, and to continuum transitions are discussed.
