Abstract: Negatively charged organic uranyl species(CH3UO2OH) was prepared and characterized with electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry implemented on an LTQ-MS instrument. Experimentally, it was found that ionic species of CH3UO2OH underwent metathetical reaction with water molecules present in the ion trap to produce negative ions of m/z 304 and a neutral methane species in the gas phase. The transient state of the reaction was observed and identified in the gas phase by tandem mass spectrometry. The mechanism was discussed in detail. The Gibbs free energy(ΔrG), enthalpy(ΔrH) and entropy(ΔrS) for the reaction were calculated, on the basis of the experimental measurements, to be -473.0 kJ/mol, -236.5 kJ/mol and 0.792 kJ·mol-1·K-1, respectively. The reaction rate constant was experimentally estimated to be 2.26 s-1.
