We perform a resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) study of Ni-substituted La$$_2$$CuO$$_4$$ and Cu-substituted La$$_2$$NiO$$_4$$.Resonantly enhanced charge-transfer excitations are successfully observed by tuning the incident photon energy to the $$K$$-edge of the substituted element. These excitations display a very weak momentum dependence, evidencing their local character. We find a shift in the energy of the onset edge of these features compared with the non-substituted compounds La$$_2$$CuO$$_4$$ and La$$_2$$NiO$$_4$$. This shift is quantitatively reproduced by exact diagonalization calculations of the RIXS spectra. RIXS is shown to be a powerful tool to probe the electronic states of substituted elements and to understand their interaction with surrounding atoms.
