| Abstract |
The determination of structure-function relationships in catalysts is greatly facilitated by the use of single-site catalysts for which the local composition and structure of the active sites are essentially identical. In this study, isolated vanadate species were deposited onto high surface area mesoporous silica known as MCM-48 by gas phase sublimation. Samples were prepared with vanadium surface densities of 0.1-0.75 V/nm2. In-situ XAS studies were performed to determine the local structure around the vanadate centers. The oxidation state of vanadium was established by XANES to be +5. EXAFS analysis confirmed the structure to be distorted tetrahedral with approximately 4 oxygen neighbors in the first shell and confirmed the absence of any V-V scattering.
