Abstract
The use of group theory allows the qualitative assignment of the principle pre-edge peak and its shoulders in the x-ray K-edge absorption spectra of various vanadium oxide species. This white peak region is considered to arise from 1s → 3d transitions, where the point group symmetry of the vanadium allows some mixing of the 4p orbitals with the 3d orbitals. The number of shoulders present on the white peak indicates the crystal field splitting of the d orbitals, and the number of dipole allowed transitions.

In several cases in this paper, the vanadium does not sit exactly in a site of the stated symmetry. We have chosen the highest possible symmetry for the vanadium. Several of these compounds would have strictly no symmetry (C1). The small distortions from the higher symmetry are probably small perturbations in the spectra, and are not seen.
