Transition Metal L-edge spectroscopy is widely used to determine oxidation states of a wide range of samples, hence, an estimate of uncertainty contributions to assigned oxidation states from chemical shifts is of high importance. Here we use gas phase FeX+ (X=F, Cl, Br, I) as a idealized model system to provide high resolution XAS spectra to quantify energy shifts of the Iron L3-edge and to study changes in electronic structure within the same oxidation state of Fe(II). Along with a change in line shape of the Iron L3-edge, we observe energy shifts of the intensity distributions median of the spectra along the series. The observed shifts hint towards a charge transfer to and from the halogen to the iron, involving orbitals of different symmetry.
