Single crystals of the compound K{sub 8}[(UO{sub 2}){sub 2}(C{sub 2}O{sub 4}){sub 2}(SeO{sub 4})4] . 2H{sub 2}O (I) are synthesized, and their structure is investigated using X-ray diffraction. Compound I crystallizes in the monoclinic system with the unit cell parameters a = 14.9290(4) A, b = 7.2800(2) A, c = 15.3165(4) A, {beta} = 109.188(1){sup o}, V = 1572.17(7) A{sup 3}, space group P2{sub 1}/n, Z = 2, and R = 0.0297. The uranium-containing structural units of crystals I are dimers of the composition [(UO {sub 2}){sub 2}(C{sub 2}O{sub 4}){sub 2}(SeO{sub 4}){sub 4}]{sup 8-}, which belong to the crystal-chemical group AB{sup 01}B{sup 2}M{sup 1} (A = UO{sub 2}{sup 2+}, B{sup 01} = C{sub 2}O{sub 4}{sup 2-}, B{sup 2} = SeO{sub 4}{sup 2-}, M{sup 1} = SeO{sub 4}{sup 2-}) of the uranyl complexes. The [(UO{sub 2}){sub 2}(C{sub 2}O{sub 4}){sub 2}(SeO{sub 4}){sub 4}]{sup 8-} dimers are joined into a three-dimensional framework through electrostatic interactions with the outer-sphere potassium cations.
