Pt-Mo bimetallic ensembles active for ethene hydrogenation and ethane hydrogenolysis were prepared on silica and alumina using a new Anderson-type plane [PtMo[sub 6]O[sub 24]][sup 8 [minus]] heteropolyanion as a precursor. The structures of the supported bimetallic ensembles were determined by H[sub 2 [minus]]chemisorption, TEM (transmission electron microscopy), analytical TEM, XRD (X-ray diffraction), EXAFS (extended X-ray absorption fine structure), and XANES (X-ray absorption near edge structure). The heteropolyanion framework was maintained when it was supported on silica, but was broken when on alumina. After reduction at 773-823 K, dispersed particles with an eggshell structure (3.0 [plus minus] 0.5 nm) were formed on silica, where a small platinum cluster (ca. 1.0 nm) located in the center was covered with partially oxidized Mo-oxide layers. On alumina bimetallic clusters of 2.0 [plus minus] 0.5 nm were formed, and part of the molybdenum atoms were dispersed in low valence states on the Al[sub 2]O[sub 3] surface.
