The atomization enthalpies of the U (VI) species UF6 and the uranium oxyhalides UO2X2
(X= F, Cl, Br, I, and At) were calculated using a composite relativistic Feller–Peterson–Dixon …

The ionization of uranyl triperoxide monomer,[(UO2)(O2) 3] 4–(UT), and uranyl peroxide
cage cluster,[(UO2) 28 (O2) 42–x (OH) 2 x] 28–(U28), was studied with electrospray …

Gas-phase organoactinyl complexes possessing discrete An–C bonds (An= U, Np, Pu) were
synthesized in a quadrupole ion trap by endothermic decarboxylation of [AnO2 (O2C–R) 3] …

The speciation and reactivity of uranium are topics of sustained interest because of their
importance to the development of nuclear fuel processing methods, and a more complete …

A gas-phase uranyl peroxide dimer supported by three 12-crown-4 ether (12C4)
ligands,[(UO2) 2 (O2)(12C4) 3)] 2+(A), was prepared by electrospray ionization. Density …

Dinuclear perchlorate complexes of uranium, neptunium, and plutonium were characterized
by reactivity and DFT, with results revealing structures containing pentavalent, hexavalent …

Developing a comprehensive understanding of the reactivity of uranium-containing species
remains an important goal in areas ranging from the development of nuclear fuel processing …

In a previous study, electrospray ionization, collision-induced dissociation (CID), and gas-
phase ion–molecule reactions were used to create and characterize ions derived from …

Difficulty in the preparation of gas-phase ions that include U in middle oxidation states (III,
IV) have hampered efforts to investigate intrinsic structure, bonding and reactivity of model …

Because of the high stability and inertness of the U= O bonds, activation and/or
functionalization of UO22+ and UO2+ remain challenging tasks. We show here that collision …
