UV-VIS Absorption (VO) 2P 2O 7<br />

• Spectrum provides a fingerprint <strong>of</strong> active vs. deactivated catalyst<br />

• Compute spectrum for several hypothetical deactivated structures<br />

• Continue until match between computation & experiment<br />

• Not blind guessing:<br />

– Loss <strong>of</strong> P is know from elemental analysis<br />

– Shift <strong>of</strong> XPS <strong>to</strong> lower energy O 2s energy implies loss <strong>of</strong> PO 2
