The X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) at the lanthanide LI–IIIthresholds was studied systematically for reduced halides of the lanthanide elements Pr, Nd, Sm, and Dy, as well as for Sm3S4. For the divalent halides NdCl2, SmCl2, DyBr2, as well as for the mixed-valent compounds NaNd2Cl6, Sm3S4, and K5Dy3I12, ‘white lines’ (WLs), corresponding to core-excited states with the 4f configurations of divalent Ln elements, were observed. The formally mixed-valent Pr halides NaPr2Cl6, Pr2Br5, and PrCl2.33were found to contain only WLs corresponding to the 4f2configuration of PrIII. In addition to the substantial energy shifts caused by different 4f configurations (valences), the XANES WLs of compounds with the same valence but different halogen ligands exhibit chemical shifts which are far larger in L1than in LIIIXANES spectra. This striking difference is qualitatively explained on the basis of changes of the Ln/ligand covalence as a function of the electronegativity of the ligand atoms.
