Abstract
Single crystals of the compound K8[(UO2)2(C2O4)2(SeO4)4] · 2H2O (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, β = 109.188(1)°, V = 1572.17(7) A3, space group P21/n, Z = 2, and R = 0.0297. The uranium-containing structural units of crystals I are dimers of the composition [(UO 2)2(C2O4)2(SeO4)4]8−, which belong to the crystal-chemical group AB 01 B 2 M 1 (A = UO 2 2+ , B 01 = C2O 4 2− , B 2 = SeO 4 2− , M 1 = SeO 4 2− ) of the uranyl complexes. The [(UO2)2(C2O4)2(SeO4)4]8− dimers are joined into a three-dimensional framework through electrostatic interactions with the outer-sphere potassium cations.
