  text: Transition metal complexes, particularly copper hydrides, play an important
    role in various catalytic processes and molecular inorganic chemistry. This study
    employs synchrotron hard X‐ray spectroscopy to gain insights into the geometric
    and electronic properties of copper hydrides as potential catalysts for CO2 hydrogenation.
    The potential of high energy resolution X‐ray absorption near‐edge structure (HERFD‐XANES)
    and valence‐to‐core X‐ray emission (VtC‐XES) is demonstrated with measurement
    on Stryker's reagent (Cu6H6) and [Cu3(μ3‐H)(dpmppe)2](PF6)2 (Cu3H), alongside
    a non‐hydride copper compound (Cu‐I). The XANES analysis reveals that coordination
    geometries strongly influence the spectra, providing only indirect details about
    hydride coordination. The VtC‐XES analysis exhibits a distinct signal around 8975
    eV, offering a diagnostic tool to identify hydride ligands. Theoretical calculations
    support and extend these findings by comparing hydride‐containing complexes with
    their hydride‐free counterparts.
