An in situ Polarized Total-Reflection Fluorescence Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (PTRF-EXAFS) technique was developed to analyze anisotropic structures of metal sites on surfaces. The PTRF-EXAFS can provide structural information in two different directions, separately, parallel (s-polarization) and normal (p-polarization) to the support surface. This technique was used to analyze the anisotropic structures of two kinds of Co-oxides on [alpha]-Al[sub 2]O[sub 3] (0001) which were derived from Co[sub 2](CO)[sub 8] and model surfaces of Co-oxide catalysts supported on [alpha]-Al[sub 2]O[sub 3] active for CO oxidation. The s- and p-polarized EXAFS analysis revealed that after contact of Co[sub 2](CO)[sub 8] with [alpha]-Al[sub 2]O[sub 3] (0001), followed by oxidation with O[sub 2] at 300 K, Co atoms occupied the threefold hollow sites of [alpha]-Al[sub 2]O[sub 3] (0001) as monomers (Co-C = 0.208 nm). By oxidation at 873 K, the Co monomers aggregated to form small spinel-like particles [Co[sub 3]O[sub 4]][sub n] with ca. 0.9 nm dimension. The anisotropic structure analysis shows that the particles of seven layers grew with the spinel (001) plane parallel to the [alpha]-Al[sub 2]O[sub 3] (0001) plane. 20 refs., 11 figs., 4 tabs.
