1. A process for preparing a catalyst material, comprising the steps of:
(a) providing a support material having surface hydroxyl (OH) groups, wherein the support material is ceria (CeO2), zirconia (ZrO2) or a combination of thereof;
(b) reacting the support material having surface hydroxyl (OH) groups of step (a) with a precursor selected from the group consisting of [(tBuCH2)3W═O]2(μ-O); [tBuO3W═O]2(μ-O); (tBuO)3W≡W(tBuO)3;
(c) calcining the product obtained in step (b) in order to provide a catalyst material showing dual site surface species containing pairs of transition metal atoms derived from the precursor that are present in oxide form on the support material.
