A VPO catalyst prepared in an organic medium has been studied by in situ laser Raman spectroscopy for n ‐butane oxidation to maleic anhydride. Data could be obtained at low laser power and brief collection times. Raman characterization during continuous flow (steady‐state) studies revealed that (VO) 2 P 2 O 7 was present. Sequential oxidizing (10% O 2 in N 2 ) and reducing (2% n ‐butane in N 2 ) conditions were explored at 350°C and 400°C. These cycling (unsteady‐state) operations revealed that formation of V(5 + ) phases was enhanced during oxidizing conditions. The intensity of Raman bands due to (VO) 2 P 2 O 7 increased during reducing conditions.
