The analysis of the infrared and ligand field spectra of COM2O4 spinels reveals that theionicity of these compounds varies in the following order aluminate > gallate > ferriteand chromite > rhodite and cobaltite. A linear relation has been established betweenthe Δ(LO-TO)1 splitting, Racah parameter and the ionic-covalent parameter SSp=ΣICP+tetra∑ICPocta. The influence of strong superexchange interactions onthe optical spectrum of cobalt ferrites has been studied. The cation distribution has beenestablished by EXAFS and XANES measurements. The cluster (CoFeO10)15– ischaracterized by a large MMCT transition Co2+→Fe3+ at 1.65–1.7 eV (FWMH:1.35–1.95 eV). The 4A2→4T1 (P) tetrahedral cobalt(II) in ferrimagnetic compounds isoverlapped by the MMCT band. This study and the reinvestigation of the iron(III)electronic spectrum is ferrites may explain the magneto-optical properties of mixedcobalt-ferrites
