Abstract
A wide variety of different transition metal compounds have been studied for their satellite structure found in photoelectron spectra, with specific emphasis on the 2p shell of the first-row transition metals. In particular, data on halides and cyanide complexes are presented. Results on second- and third-row transition metal compounds are also discussed. The relative roles of electron shake-up and multiplet splitting for producing the satellite structure are evaluated. The behavior of the satellite structure is generalized as a function of metal ion and ligand and the energy spacing of the metal and ligand orbitals. It is ascertained that the large, well-defined satellite peaks are due to electron shake-up involving excitation of electrons from a ligand to a metal orbital. (auth)
