Combination of uranium, peroxide, and mono- (Na, K) or divalent (Mg, Ca, Sr) cations under alkaline aqueous conditions results in the rapid formation of anionic uranyl triperoxide monomers (UTs), (UO<sub>2sub>(O<sub>2sub>)<sub>3sub>)<sup>4–sup>, exhibiting unique Raman signatures. Electronic structure calculations were decisive for the interpretation of the spectra and assignment of unexpected signals associated with vibrations of the uranyl and peroxide ions. Assignments were verified by <sup>18sup>O isotopic labeling of the uranyl ions supporting the computational-based interpretation of the experimentally observed peaks and the assignment of a novel asymmetric vibration of the peroxide ligands, <sub>v2sub>(O<sub>2sub><sup>2–sup>).
