Abstract
A bridging (μ2) neutral zwitterionic amidoxime binding mode previously unobserved between amidoximes and uranyl is reported and compared to other uranyl amidoxime complexes. Density functional theory computations show the dinuclear complex exhibits a shallow potential energy surface allowing for facile inclusion of a nonbonding water molecule in the solid-state.

Funding
X-ray crystallographic data were collected at the University of Montana X-ray diffraction core facility supported by the Center for Biomolecular Structure and Dynamics CoBRE (National Institutes of Health, CoBRE NIGMS P20GM103546). Single crystal X-ray diffraction data were collected using a Bruker D8 Venture, principally supported by NSF MRI CHE-1337908.
