Figure 4.
Mo M-edge X-ray absorption spectra and TT-multiplet simulation data of solid Na2MoO4•2H2O and Na2MoS4 recorded in electron-yield mode. Left panel: M2,3 data, right panel: M4.5 data. For each panel, top: MoO42-, bottom: MoS42-, solid line: x-ray spectrum, broken line: simulation, vertical solid lines: simulated stick spectra. An arbitrary background has been subtracted from each spectrum. Simulation parameters are given in Table 2. The M4.5 edge was simulated using 3d → 5p transitions. A M4.5 edge simulation using 3d → 4f transitions is presented in the supporting information (Figure S1).
