	abstract = "The exfoliation-reduction of VOPO<SUB>4</SUB> &#183; 2H<SUB>2</SUB>O in 1-butanol or <I>iso</I>-butanol alone, and in a 1-butanol/ethanol or <I>iso</I>-butanol/ethanol mixture, were conducted. Although all precursors were composed of a lamellar compound with intercalated alcohol molecules, VOHPO<SUB>4</SUB> &#183; 0.5H<SUB>2</SUB>O was formed when the exfoliation-reduction process was carried out in the mixed alcohol. All precursors transformed to a single phase of (VO)<SUB>2</SUB>P<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>7</SUB> under the reaction conditions for <I>n</I>-butane oxidation, but the crystallinity of (VO)<SUB>2</SUB>P<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>7</SUB> was different. The catalyst synthesized in <I>iso</I>-butanol/ethanol was well crystalline (VO)<SUB>2</SUB>P<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>7</SUB>, and exhibited higher selectivity to maleic anhydride than that synthesized in <I>iso</I>-butanol alone for the <I>n</I>-butane oxidation.",
