摘要
Uranyl （VI） amidoxime complexes are investigated using relativistic density functional theory. The equilibrium structures, bond orders, and Mulliken populations of the complexes have been systematically investigated under a generalized gradient approximation （GGA）. Comparison of （acet） uranyl amidoxime complexes （[UO2（AO）n]2-n, 1≤ n≤4） with available experimental data shows an excellent agreement. In addition, the U-O（1）, U-O（3）, C（1）-N（2）, and C（3） N（4） bond lengths of [UO2（CH3AO）4]2- are longer than experimental data by about 0.088, 0.05, 0.1, and 0.056 A. The angles of N（3） O（3）-U, O（2）-N（1）-C（1）, N（3）-C（3）-N（4）, N（4）-C（3） C（4）, and C（4）-C（3）-N（3） are different from each other, which is due to existing interaction between oxygen in uranyl and hydrogen in amino group. This interaction is found to be intra-molecular hydrogen bond. Studies on the bond orders, Mulliken charges, and Mulliken populations demonstrate that uranyl oxo group functions as hydrogen-bond acceptors and H atoms in ligands act as hydrogen-bond donors forming hydrogen bonds within the complex.
