Crystals of new malonate-containing uranyl complexes [UO{sub 2}(C{sub 3}H{sub 2}O{sub 4})(Imon)(H{sub 2}O)] (I) and [UO{sub 2}(C{sub 3}H{sub 2}O4)(Meur){sub 3}] (II), where Imon is imidazolidin-2-one (ethylenecarbamide) and Meur is methyl-carbamide, have been synthesized and studied by X-ray diffraction. Both compounds crystallize in the monoclinic system with the following unit-cell parameters (at 100 K): a = 11.1147(10) Å, b = 6.9900(6) Å, c = 14.4934(12) Å, β = 92.042(2)°, V = 1125.30(17) Å{sup 3}, sp. gr. P2{sub 1}/n, Z = 4, R{sub 1} = 0.0398 (I); a = 16.6613(5) Å, b = 9.5635(3) Å, c = 22.9773(6) Å, β = 103.669(2)°, V = 3557.51(18) Å{sup 3}, sp. gr. C2/c, Z = 8, R{sub 1} = 0.0207 (II). The crystals are composed of electroneutral chains [UO{sub 2}(C{sub 3}H{sub 2}O{sub 4})(Imon)(H{sub 2}O)] and mononuclear groups [UO{sub 2}(C{sub 3}H{sub 2}O{sub 4})(Meur){sub 3}] as the structural units belonging to the crystal-chemical groups AT{sup 11}M{sub 2}{sup 1} and AB{sup 01}M{sub 3}{sup 1} (A =UO{sub 2}{sup 2+}, T{sup 11} and B{sup 01} = C{sub 3}H{sub 2}, M{sup 1} = Imon, H{sub 2}O, or Meur), respectively, of uranyl complexes. The packing modes of the uranyl-containing complexes were analyzed by the method of molecular Voronoi—Dirichlet polyhedra.
