Structural and computational characterization of a bridging zwitterionic-amidoxime uranyl complex

Year: 2019

Type: article

Abstract: ) neutral zwitterionic amidoxime binding mode previously unobserved between amidoximes and uranyl is reported and compared to other uranyl amidoxime complexes. Density functional theory computations show the dinuclear complex exhibits a shallow potential energy surface allowing for facile inclusion of a nonbonding water molecule in the solid-state.
