The multiplet structure of core 2p -vacancy levels for 36 ions belonging to 3d transition metals have been calculated and their plots presented. Only the ground-state configuration 2p^53d^n (n=1, , 9) is considered for each ion. The spin-orbit interaction has been incorporated exactly, but the crystal-field effect is ignored. While there is general agreement with the available experimental works, higher-energy resolution in x-ray-photoelectron measurements is necessary for detailed comparison of the spectra presented here. On the theoretical side inclusion of crystal field appears to be important. One should go beyond single-configuration approximation to have the observed satellite structure in 2p -x-ray-photoelectron spectra appear in the calculations.
