Sulphate and/or molybdate-modified titania catalysts were prepared by incipient wet impregnation of nanosized (5–10 nm crystallite size) samples. At 60% of titania sur- face coverage by MoO , sulphate surface density was obtained up to 19 μmol/m2 without formation of MoO . The catalysts were x 3 ◦ characterized by N2 adsorption-desorption at −196 C, micro-Raman and UV-visible reflectance spectroscopy, thermogravimet- ric analysis coupled with mass spectroscopy (TG-MS), and mass titration. Unsulphated and sulphated titania are both active in cyclohexane total oxidation, but sulphate doping of titania has a detrimental effect on the reaction rate. On Mo-based catalysts, polymolybdate species enabled sulphated titania to convert cyclohexane to benzene (99% selec
