S1 Experimental MethodsS1.1 HERFD-XAS measurementsThe x-ray absorption spectra were collected at the ID26 beamline in the European Synchrotron RadiationFacility. The storage ring was operated in the 7/8 + 1 filling mode, with 200 mA current. The radiationfrom the ID26 source was monochromatized by a double crystal monochromator using a pair of Si(311)possessing an intrinsic resolution of 0.3 x 10�4. The x-ray beam size was 200 x 700 µm (V x H) at thesample position. XAS data was also collected in transmission and total fluorescence yield modes concomi-tant with the high-resolution (HERFD) measurements. A closed-cycle liquid helium cryostat was used tocool down the samples and prevent radiation damage. The temperature at the samples was estimated to bearound 40 K. A multi-crystal Johanson-type x-ray spectrometer was used to energy-select the x-ray emis-sion lines and record HERFD-XAS data. It was equipped with five Ge(111) crystals, posed at an Braggangle of approximately 77.74�. The [999] reflection selected the Mo Ka1 emission (⇠ 17.4 keV). A silicondrift detector was used to record the high-resolution fluorescence (HERFD-XAS), whereas a Si diode wasused to record the total fluorescence. The individual contribution of the monochromator and analyzer to thetotal experimental resolution were determined following the procedure given in Ref.1. The monochromatorresolving power including the vertical divergence of the incident beam is about 25000 (Si (311)), whichaccounts for less than 1 eV at the Mo K-edge. The intermediate state core-hole lifetime is 4.52 eV, whereasthe final state core-hole lifetime is 1.80 eV. Given these parameters, we estimate a total experimental broad-ening of 3.5 eV with 0.8 eV from the incident beam monochromator and 3.9 eV arising from the X-rayemission spectrometer. Clearly, the analyzer crystals provide the dominant contribution to the instrumentalbroadening. The energy bandwidth can be readily improved, however, with a loss of detection efficiency.There are efforts underway to reduce the energy bandwidth while maintaining the efficiency. Such effortswill improve the overall energy bandwidth to 2.5 eV in future experiments.

Figure S1 Example of the correction of the self-absorption effects in the Mo K-edge HERFD-XAS of compound (1)([MoV I(O)3]). After applying the self-absorption correction the XAS data measured in TFY and transmission modesoverlay. The same correction was applied in the HERFD-XAS data.

For each sample several successive spectra were averaged together in order to increase the signal-to-noise ratio. Background subtraction and normalization were performed using the ATHENA package2. Afirst-order polynomial was subtracted from the pre-edge region and third-order from the post-edge region.The atomic background was taken into account by subtracting a spline over the post-edge region using theAutobkg algorithm also implemented in ATHENA.

A comparison of data collected in transmission and total fluorescence yield modes revealed that somesamples suffered from self-absorption effects. The XANES data collected in TFY mode was corrected forself-absorption using the “Fluo” algorithm implemented in ATHENA, taking the transmission mode data asreference. The same correction was then applied to the HERFD XAS. An illustration of the self-absorptioncorrection on the XAS data is shown in S1.

S1.2 Fits of the pre-edge peaksThe energy position and areas of the pre-edge features were determined by fitting the peaks using theBlueprint XAS software3,4. The number of peaks in the pre-edge region were estimated by inspection ofthe second derivative. A set of pseudo-Voigt functions seemed to properly account for features in the pre-edge and the XANES region of the spectrum. The edge was simulated by an actangent function with a stepsize of one. Between five and seven peaks were needed to reproduce ca. 50 eV around the Mo edge region.The results of the peak fit procedure are shown in figures S2, S3, S4, S5, S6, S7, S8 and S9.
