We performed theoretically to reproduce site-selective X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES) spectra of carbonate in the liquid phase at the oxygen K-edge. Structure sampling as a cluster model was performed from a snapshot of the first principles molecular dynamics simulation. Relative intensities of XES with core-hole excited state dynamics simulation were calculated using density functional theory. Theoretical XES spectra for CO32- and HCO3− were well reproduced experimentally and that for H2CO3 was predicted.
