Density functional theory is employed to investigate uranyl dihydroxide, UO2(OH)2, isomerization reaction energy barriers, including those occurring via proton shuttles. The ground-state structure of a uranyl dihydroxide complex containing a uranyl moiety with a near 90 degrees O=U=O bond angle is reported for the first time. Furthermore, we predict the vibrational spectra of these compounds. Scalar-relativistic effects for uranium are treated by employing a relativistic effective core potential.

Electrospray ionization (ESI) can produce a wide range of gas-phase uranyl (UO ) complexes for tandem mass spectrometry studies of intrinsic structure and reactivity. We describe here the formation and collision-induced dissociation (CID) of [UO (NO ) ] and [UO (NO ) (O )] . Multiple-stage CID experiments reveal that the complexes dissociate in reactions that involve elimination of O , NO , or NO , and subsequent reactions of interesting uranyl-oxo product ions with (neutral) H O and/or O were investigated.

Ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations of the Mg2+, Ca2+, Sr2+ and UO22+ ions in either a pure aqueous environment or an environment containing two hydroxide ions have been carried out at the density functional level of theory, employing the generalised gradient approximation via the PBE exchange-correlation functional. Calculated mean M-O bond lengths in the first solvation shell of the aquo systems compared very well to existing experimental and computational literature, with bond lengths well within values measured previously and coordination numbers in line with previously calculated values. When applied to systems containing additional hydroxide ions, the methodology revealed increased bond lengths in all systems.
