Uranyl-phosphate aqueous models for (a) UO2(PO4)-(OH2)4•30(H2O) (UO2PO4; bidentate) and (b) UO2(HPO4)22-(OH2)2•33(H2O) (UO2(HPO4)2) both show bidentate bonding between [PO4]3- and [HPO4]2-, but the diphosphate species also contains a monodentate [HPO4]2- group that predicts a U---P distance in better agreement with EXAFS data for uranyl-phosphate complexation.
