Abstract
We explore the notion of using a transition metal compound as a bridge between the free and the surface adsorbed species for the interpretation of core electron spectroscopies. Calculations for this purpose are carried out for carbon and oxygen X-ray absorption, X-ray emission and X-ray core electron shake-up spectra for Cr(CO)6, and the results are compared with previous calculations on free CO and on CO-copper clusters. A detailed analysis of spectra is made with some previous assignments being revised. Experimental non-resonant and resonant X-ray emission spectra are presented.
