    Abstract

    The new M06 functional of Truhlar and co-workers is found to be competitive with high level ab initio methods in the study of the water exchange mechanism of the [UO2(OH2)5]2+ ion, and of the redox potentials of the aqua complexes of [AnO2]2+ (An = U, Np and Pu). © the Owner Societies.
