The synthesis of hierarchically designed supported vanadia‐titania catalysts and their properties in the oxyhydrative scission (OHS) of 1‐butene to acetic acid (AA) is described. The interaction of the TiO 2 support with V 2 O 5 appears to be responsible for an enhanced catalytic performance, and it is proposed that the catalytic activity is related to the number and size of the contact zones between the support and the active component.
