Abstract

Results from quantum chemical calculations that predict the existence of a series of diuranium molecules are reported. Two diuranium chlorides, U ₂Cl₆ and U₂Cl₈^2-, and three different carboxylates, U₂(OCHO)₄, U ₂(OCHO)₆, and U₂(OCHO)₄Cl ₂ have been studied. All species have been found to be stable with a multiply bonded U₂ unit.
