We present the computational results from a combined theoretical-experimental study of the structure-activity relationship of VO4 monomers on the θ-Al2O3 surface. Out results indicate it is possible to increase the activity of the VO4 monomers by forming specific structures. The results are consistent with UV-Raman spectroscopy experiments.
