Figure 12From: Quantum mechanical calculation of aqueuous uranium complexes: carbonate, phosphate, organic and biomolecular speciesUO 2 -KDO (a) monodentate complex is most consistent with observed interatomic distances [110], but the (b) bidentate configuration is calculated to be a lower energy state using the methodology discussed in this paper. (c) An outer-sphere configuration has a higher potential energy than either of the two inner-sphere model complexes.Back to article page
