The goals of the present study were (a) to create positively charged organo‐uranyl complexes with general formula [UO2(R)]+(eg, R═CH3and CH2CH3) by decarboxylation of [UO2(O2C─R)]+precursors and (b) to identify the pathways by which the complexes, if formed, dissociate by collisional activation or otherwise react when exposed to gas‐phase H2O. Collision‐induced dissociation (CID) of both [UO2(O2C─CH3)]+and [UO2(O2C─CH2CH3)]+causes H+transfer and elimination of a ketene to leave [UO2(OH)]+. However, CID of the alkoxides [UO2(OCH2CH3)]+and [UO2(OCH2CH2CH3)]+produced [UO2(CH3)]+and [UO2(CH2CH3)]+, respectively. Isolation of [UO2(CH3)]+and [UO2(CH2CH3)]+for reaction with H2O caused formation of [UO2(H2O)]+by elimination of ·CH3and ·CH2CH3: Hydrolysis was not observed. CID of the acrylate and benzoate versions of the complexes, [UO2(O2C─CH═CH2)]+and [UO2(O2C─C6H5)]+, caused decarboxylation to leave [UO2(CH═CH2)]+and [UO2(C6H5)]+, respectively. These organometallic species do react with H2O to produce [UO2(OH)]+, and loss of the respective radicals to leave [UO2(H2O)]+was not detected. Density functional theory calculations suggest that formation of [UO2(OH)]+, rather than the hydrated UVO2+, cation is energetically favored regardless of the precursor ion. However, for the [UO2(CH3)]+and [UO2(CH2CH3)]+precursors, the transition state energy for proton transfer to generate [UO2(OH)]+and the associated neutral alkanes is higher than the path involving direct elimination of the organic neutral to form [UO2(H2O)]+. The situation is reversed for the [UO2(CH═CH2)]+and [UO2(C6H5)]+precursors: The transition state for proton transfer is lower than the energy required for creation of [UO2(H2O)]+by elimination of CH═CH2or C6H5radical.
