Chemical reactions are always associated with electronic structure changes of the involved chemical species. Determining the electronic configuration of an atom allows probing its chemical state and gives understanding of the reaction pathways. However, often the reactions are too complex and too fast to be measured at in situ conditions due to slow and/or insensitive experimental techniques. A...
