Significant enhancements in the rate of methanol oxidation to formaldehyde can be obtained from V grafted on high surface area silica containing a submonolayer coverage of Ti, Zr, and Ce. ⁵¹V NMR and UV-Visible spectroscopy can be used to quantify and determine the intrinsic activity of active sites.
