(a) Monodentate UO2(OH2)4(O2P(OCH2C4H6OOH)2)+•23(H2O) (=UO2OrgPO4) converts to (b) a bidentate configuration during energy minimizations from three separate monodentate starting configurations. (c) A protonated phosphoryl group allows a stable monodentate configuration to be found consistent with the EXAFS data of [47]showing monodentate phosphoryl bonding to U on bacterial surfaces at low pH.
