The adsorption and transformation of propylene and of several O-containing C{sub 3} organic molecules (namely isopropyl alcohol, acetone, allyl alcohol, acrolein, and acrylic acid) on vanadia-titania in the temperature range 150-673 K have been investigated by IR spectroscopy. At low temperatures (150-200 K), propylene adsorbs as such through {pi}-bonding and reacts later to give an adsorbed species identified tentatively as an allyl radical. Alternatively, it undergoes addition by a surface OH group to given an isopropoxy species. At least two main surface pathways for propylene transformation are active, leading to surface species functionalized at C{sub 2} (isopropoxy species and acetone) and at C{sub 1} (acrolein and acrylates) as well as products arising from coupling of the allyl radical. The results are discussed in relation to literature data concerning the heterogeneously catalyzed selective oxidation of propylene carried out on vanadia-titania as well as on bismuth-molybdate-based catalysts.
