The synthesis and X-ray diffraction study of compound Rb{sub 2}[(UO{sub 2}){sub 2}(C{sub 2}O{sub 4}){sub 3}], which crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system, are performed. The unit cell parameters are as follows: a = 7.9996(6) A, b = 8.8259(8) A, c = 11.3220(7) A, {beta} = 105.394(2){sup o}, and V = 770.7(1) A{sup 3}; space group P2{sub 1}/n, Z = 2, and R{sub 1} = 0.0271. [(UO{sub 2}){sub 2}(C{sub 2}O{sub 4}){sub 3}]{sup 2-} layers belonging to the AK{sub 0.5}{sup 02}T{sup 11} crystal chemical group of uranyl complexes (A = UO{sub 2}{sup 2+}, K{sup 02} = C{sub 2}O{sub 4}{sup 2-}, and T{sup 11} = C{sub 2}O{sub 4}{sup 2-}) are uranium-containing structural units of the crystals. The layers are connected with outer-sphere rubidium cations by electrostatic interactions.
