    The structural change of Ir/SiO<sub>2</sub> and Ir–ReO<sub><i>x</i></sub>/SiO<sub>2</sub> during the temperature programmed reduction with H<sub>2</sub> was investigated using in situ Ir <i>L</i><sub>3</sub>-edge and Re <i>L</i><sub>3</sub>-edge quick-scanning X-ray absorption fine structure in the combination of temperature programmed reduction with H<sub>2</sub>, XRD, the measurement of CO adsorption, Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The metal oxide on Ir–ReO<sub><i>x</i></sub>/SiO<sub>2</sub> was much more easily reduced than that on monometallic Ir/SiO<sub>2</sub> and ReO<sub><i>x</i></sub>/SiO<sub>2</sub>, which is explained by the interaction between trioxo Re species and the IrO<sub>2</sub> phase. The metal structure of Ir–ReO<sub><i>x</i></sub>/SiO<sub>2</sub> constructed after reduction at 485–595 K is the cuboctahedron Ir metal particles covered with three-dimensional ReO<sub><i>x</i></sub> clusters
