## Abstract The aqueous solvation of the uranylfluoride complex [UO~2~F] was studied using full quantum mechanical (QM) and hybrid QM/molecular mechanics (MM) methods. Inclusion of a complete first solvation shell was found necessary to reproduce the experimentally observed heptacoordination of ura

Abstract
We report a QM augmented QM/MM study on the coordination of the tetrahydroxouranylate ion in aqueous solution. QM/MM geometry optimizations followed by full QM single‐point calculations on the optimized structures show that a hexa‐coordinated structure is more stable than the hepta‐coordinated structure by 43 kJ/mol. Charge transfer of the tetrahydroxouranylate to the solvating water molecules is relatively modest, and can be modeled by including a solvation layer consisting of 12 explicit water molecules. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
