Two signals, A1 and A2, correspond to isolated monom-eric Cu2+ ions in Ce02. The first one has been correlated with copper (II) species in octahedral sites with a tetragonal distorsión. From EPR parameters, it has been shown that these Cu2+ monomeric ions (AJ are the precursors of the copper (II) ion pairs in ceria. The other one (A2 signal) has been attributed to Cu2+ ions localized in surface substi-tutional sites with a square-pyramidal symmetry. We have also noticed previously2 that the A2 signal has been obtained at both X-and Q-band frequencies, whereas the half-field signal has been observed only in the X-band spectrum (Figure 1).When a CuCe oxide sample with an atomic ratio Cu/Ce= 2 was prepared and calcined at 1173 K as indicated previously, the X-band EPR spectrum is mainly formed of the K and A2 signals, and apparently no trace of the Al signal is observed (Figure 2a). Contrary to that observed in CuCe oxide (Cu/Ce= 0.01) X-band spectrum, the relative intensityof the A2 signal is weaker than K dimer signal. When the Q-band spectrum of this solid is recorded (Figure 2b), the intensityof the A2 signal becomes larger than K and the Aj signal is observed with a weak intensity.
