Abstract
Vanadium phosphates are important catalysts for the oxidation of alkanes, and commercial catalysts comprise a complex range of V4+ and V5+ phosphates. We used three complementary in situ characterization methodologies—powder x-ray diffraction and laser Raman and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopies—to show that the metastable phase {omega}-VOPO4 is very sensitive to many of the reactants and products of butane oxidation. A rapid transformation from {omega}-VOPO4 to {delta}-VOPO4 occurs on exposure to butane at the reaction temperature, and hence the metastable {omega}-VOPO4 may play a role in the formation of commercial catalysts.
