Popis: A comparative study of O/sub 2/ chemisorption on molybdenum supported on silica and ..gamma..-alumina is reported. The catalysts had been prepared either by pore-filling impregnation or by reaction of the surface OH groups with the eta-allyl complex of Mo. The same catalysts have been the object of a systematic study of ESCA intensity ratio showing that this last method yields information concerning Mo dispersion and surface segregation. The two series of silica-supported catalysts were also analyzed by laser Raman spectroscopy and ion-scattering spectroscopy. In particular, the LRS study shows the presence of MoO/sub 3/ microcrystals at Mo loadings as low as 2% on impregnated silica catalysts and of silicomolybdic anions down to 1 wt % Mo on both series of silica-supported catalysts.
