By angle-resolved photoelectron-, diffuse reflectence electron-, elect
ron spin resonance- and EXAFS-spectroscopy it was investigated the sil
ver state involved in alumosilicate catalyst of oxidation dehydrogenat
ion of methanol to formaldehyde. It was established the catalyst heate
d at 1623 K contains silver avarage an oxidation state, for example, a
s isolated ions of silver stabilizated between [SiO4]- and [AlO6]-lame
llars of amorphous laminated structure of metakaoline.
