Abstract

Supported vanadium and molybdenum oxide catalysts were prepared by reaction of the corresponding acetylacetonate complex in a non-aqueous solution with the surface hydroxyl groups of the carrier. Continuous or batch adsorption of the metal acetylacetonate from toluene, as well as wet impregnation from ethanol, resulted in a uniform coverage of the support. The applied metal oxide was probably present on the surface as a monomolecular dispersion. When readsorption or reimpregnation from toluene was carried out with TiO 2 as support, metal oxide crystallites were formed, which could readily be detected with laser Raman spectroscopy. Reimpregnation from ethanol led to a complete occupancy of the surface hydroxyl groups of the carrier without the formation of metal oxide multilayers or crystallites.
