Surface complexes formed during β-picoline transformations on Vx2013;Tix2013;O catalysts in the temperature range of 120x2013;300 °C were studied using in situ FTIR spectroscopy. Two vanadiax2013;titania catalysts with several kinds of vanadia species were used in experiments. FTIR spectra have revealed differences in composition of surface complexes under different coverage, which could be related to different ways of transformations of intermediate pyridine-3-carbaldehyde.
