X-ray resonant enhancement of the (200) crystallographically forbidden reflection in the inverse cubic spinel Co2MnO4 single crystal is presented. Anisotropic X-ray scattering results near the K absorption edges of both Co and Mn ions observed in the azimuthal angle dependence are interpreted with the anisotropic tensorial character of the X-ray susceptibility. Spectra calculations including the various electric multipole transition channels, such as dipole-dipole (E1-E1), dipole-quadrupole (E1-E2), and quadrupole-quadrupole (E2-E2), in two different polarization states of σ − σ and σ − π are discussed and compared with the experimental data to determine the channel of major contribution in the resonant scattering intensity.
