A series of TiO{sub 2}-ZrO{sub 2} mixed oxide supported vanadia catalysts with various V{sub 2}O{sub 5} loadings ranging from 1 to 16 wt % were prepared by a wet impregnation method and were characterized by means of solid-state {sup 51}V and {sup 1}H NMR spectroscopic techniques. The solid-state {sup 51}V NMR spectra of V{sub 2}O{sub 5}/TiO{sub 2}-ZrO{sub 2} catalysts reveal the existence of two types of dispersed surface vanadium oxide complexes in a tetrahedral oxygen environment at lower vanadium loadings adn a third three-dimensional crystalline V{sub 2}O{sub 5} in distorted octahedral environment at higher vanadium contents. The proton NMR results provide evidence for the existence of metal oxide support interaction through the support hydroxyl groups. 33 regs., 4 figs.
