The objective of this project is to obtain quantitative                         values for metal-oxygen bond strengths in oxides used as                        selective oxidation catalysts.  The initial systems to be                       studied consist of a monolayer of vanadium oxide supported on                   titania or alumina.  Differential heats of reduction are                        determined using a calorimeter in order to observe changes in                   heats of reduction as a function of extent of reduction.                        Vibrational spectroscopy (if possible, on the same samples                      used for calorimetry) will be used to identify the order in                     which different oxygens in the structure are reduced.                           Hopefully, the spectra will correspond to known structures                      whose bonds can be can be assigned from literature values,                      but, if unusual bonds appear, X-ray analysis will be used to                    assign the structures.                                                                                                                                          Surface oxygen bond strengths should be a key parameter for                     the design of selective oxidation catalysts, specifically for                   specialty chemical production.  The data is also relevant in                    tribology, adhesion, and passivation of semiconductors.
