We investigate the chemical reactions involved during the synthesis of supported vanadium oxide catalysts using chemical grafting of vanadium oxytriisopropoxide (VO(OiPr)3) to thermally pretreated silica under solvent-free conditions. VO(OiPr)3 is found to react with both site-isolated silanol (Si−OH) groups and strained siloxane (≡Si−O−Si≡) bridges at the silica surface. Solid-state 51V and 13C MAS NMR confirms the formation of two slightly different vanadium species associated with the two anchoring mechanisms. In situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS), in situ Raman spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis-differential scanning calorimetry-mass spectrometry (TGA-DSC-MS) were used to study the subsequent calcination, revealing the formation of a transient V—OH intermediate upon the release of propene, followed by the formation of isolated VO4 surface species upon elimination of water. X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and 51V MAS NMR of the calcined material conf...
