M-edge XAS on a series of 3d metal complexes and M-edge RIXS on a covalent complex are reported for the first time, encouraging synchrotron-based M-edge measurements on more complicated samples in the future. Application of a superconducting tunnel junction X-ray detector to M-edge measurements is also discussed.

Two fast energy calibration procedures have been established: (i) an in situ calibration tracks the energies scan-by-scan for observing tiny spectral shifts; (ii) a quick-switching calibration reduces the calibration time dramatically and is suitable for normal NRVS measurements.
