Observation of selected molecular-orbital x rays in coincidence with separated-atom K x rays

Description

A cascade relationship between molecular-orbital (MO) and separated-atom x rays has been utilized to study selected MO transitions. Depending on the mechanism of vacancy production, the observed MO spectra are interpreted as reflecting 2psigma → 1ssigma transitions or a mixture of 2psigma → 1ssigma and 2pπ → 1ssigma transitions. The coincidence selection also directly corroborates a previous assignment of MO transitions to the 2psigma state
