Abstract: The active sites of samarium orthovanadate(SmVO4) were studied by means of ESR, NO TPD and temperature programmed 18O 2-isotope exchange(TPIE) methods. The results of ESR and NO-TPD confirm the presence of V4+ in the catalyst. The TPIE revealed that the 18O 2-isotope exchange was carried out through a single exchange procedure. The V4+ species associated with oxygen vacancies are the sites for O2 activation.

Key words: Samarium orthovanadate, Active site, V4+ species, Oxidative dehydrogenation
