Low-dimensional quantum spin systems often have a rich phase diagram, especially when they involve magnetic frustration. If strong electronic correlations are also important due to partially filled d or f shells there will be strong interplay between spin, charge, orbital, and lattice degrees of freedom. In such systems a method like x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), although it measures only the unoccupied density of states (DOS), thus gives valuable information about all degrees of freedom, not only the electronic ones. Figure 1 shows the crystal structure of the layered transition metal oxyhalide TiOCl. It has a spin–Peierls (SP) ground state, ie a dimerized phase due to dominant coupling between lattice and spin [1]. This state is reached, however, in an unconventional fashion by two consecutive phase transitions [2–4]. That is, upon lowering the temperature a kink in the magnetic susceptibility is observed at Tc2= 91 K, and incommensurate peaks are found in the x-ray diffraction (XRD). At Tc1= 67 K the susceptibility has a sharp drop and shows hysteresis, concomitant with a lock-in of the XRD peaks at commensurate (hkl) positions, ie the dimerization of Ti ions is completed [5]. This succession of a second-order and a first-order phase transition signals the non-canonical character of the SP transition in TiOCl. While the electronic structure at elevated temperatures (room temperature and above) has been investigated intensively via both theory [6–10] and experiment [11–15], the low-temperature phases are not
