The near-edge fine structure of the carbon K-edge absorption spectrum of anthracene was measured and theoretically analyzed by density functional theory calculations implemented in the StoBe code. It is demonstrated that the consideration of electronic relaxation of excited states around localized core holes yields a significant improvement of the calculated excitation energies and reproduces the experimentally observed fine structure well. The detailed analysis of excitation spectra calculated for each symmetry inequivalent excitation center allows in particular to examine the influence of chemical shifts and core hole effects on the excitation energies. Moreover, the visualization of final states explains the large variations in the oscillator strength of various transitions as well as the nature of Rydberg-states that exhibit a notable density of states below the ionization potentials.

As shown in Ref. 1 the measured absorption edge can be modeled by the expression:
$I_{edge} = H[\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{\pi } \text{arctan}(\frac{E-IP}{\Gamma /2})] \times \text{exp}(-d(E-IP\break -\Gamma ))$
, where H, E, IP, and Γ denote the edge jump intensity, photon energy, ionization, potential and spectral resolution, respectively. The second factor accounts for the energy dependent photoionization cross section for photon energies larger than the ionization potential.57 57.
