+12?
[edit]The first paper says the most stable structure is 3D2h-UO2(η2-O2•)2. --Makecat 10:55, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
Factual accuracy
[edit]Seconding the above; this hypothetical compound appears to be in fact uranyl superoxide where uranium has an oxidation number of +6. +12 is outright ridiculous to anyone with a basic understanding of chemistry since that would involve all of the non-valence 6p electrons. Similar compounds are not unheard of with transition metals, cf. chromium(VI) peroxide. Zhieaanm (talk) 05:55, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
