title: Genesis of a highly active cerium oxide-supported gold catalyst for CO oxidation.
abstract: X-Ray absorption spectra show that a CeO(2)-supported CO oxidation catalyst prepared from Au(III)(CH(3))(2)(C(5)H(7)O(2)) initially incorporated Au(III) complexes that were catalytically active at 353 K; during operation in a flow reactor, the gold aggregated into clusters and the catalytic activity increased.
