  1. V K edge XAFS parameters (Z for distances R and disorder parameter σ2) obtained from two different procedures of fitting a model structure (i.e. V2O5) to the experimental XAFS FT(χ(k)*k3) of reference V2O5 and hydrated VxOy/SBA-15 (10.8 wt %) (details of fit given in Table 6) together with confidence limits (± z, referring to 95% of fit residual) and significance parameter F (details given in text). Fit residual 6.0 for V2O5 procedure #1, 6.3 for V2O5 procedure #2, and 13.6 for hydrated VxOy-SBA-15.
