The bond lengths and the vibrational frequencies of the ground states of UO, UO2, and UO3 molecules are all in agreement with available experimental data. For U2O3 molecules, our calculations indicate that the ground state of the U203 molecule is an XTA1 state with Dah （trigonal bipyramid） symmetry （R1 （U O）=0.2113 nm, R2（U1 U2）=0.2921 nm, ZU1OU2 = 87.5° , dihedral angle O（U,O1,O2,O3）=62.40°）. The harmonic frequency, the IR intensity and the spin density of the U2Oa molecule are all obtained for the first time in theory. For the ground state of U203 molecules, the vibrational frequencies are 178.46 （Ai）, 276.79 （E1＇＇）, 310.77 （EL）, 396.63 （AS＇）, 579.15 （El）, and 614.98 （A1＇） cm-1. The vibrational modes corresponding to the IR maximum peaks are worked out for UO3 and U203 molecules. Besides, the results of Gophinatan-Jng bond order indicate that UO, UO2, and UO3 molecules possess U=O double bonds and that the U203 molecule possesses U O single bonds and a U-U single bond.展开更多
