Abstract

The surface structure of supported metal clusters can be finely controlled by using a well-defined metal complex and surface modifications, as described in the other chapter. The surface structures are stabilized by the interaction between the metal and support oxide. Investigation of a metal species on a single-crystal oxide surface will provide further knowledge regarding the structure of the metal species on oxide surfaces and the metal–oxide interaction. However, the investigation of a metal species on a single-crystal oxide surface is not easy because of the small amount of metal species and high penetration ability of the X-ray. As described in the other chapter, polarization-dependent total reflection fluorescence XAFS (PTRF-XAFS) will provide three-dimensional structural information of a metal species highly dispersed on flat surfaces. In this chapter, we discuss how to obtain an atomically dispersed metal species by controlling the oxide surface property and structure (mainly a TiO (110) surface) and how to determine the three-dimensional structure on an atomic level using PTRF-XAFS. The structure mainly depends on the strengths of the metal–metal and metal–oxide interactions. What is the metal–oxide interaction?
