Octahedrally coordinated Co II and Mo IV species are present on the surfaces of sulfided CoMoAl 2 O 3 catalysts used for hydrodesulfurization. They were characterized by XPE, EXAFS and XANES data. An “excess” of sulfur in the surface species can be explained in terms of the presence of S 2 2⊖ions. Disulfide bridges could play a role in the hydrodesulfurization.
