Inelastic Neutron Scattering (INS) is a unique method to probe magnetic excitations in metal complexes. Zero-field splittings (ZFS) in d-metal complexes and intra-manifold separations in f-metal complexes lead to barriers for magnetic relaxations in, e.g., single-molecule magnets (SMMs). When the separations are larger than 50 cm<sup>-1</sup>, there are few techniques to directly determine the separations. Our recent work in using INS to probe magnetic excitations and thus the separations in metal complexes will be discussed.<br/>
