The amine-templated uranyl selenate (H3O)2[C 12H30N2]3-[(UO2) 4(SeO4)8](H2O)5 (1) has been prepared. Its structure [monoclinic, P21/n, a = 11.3437(7), b = 24.8042(12), c = 29.2496(19) Å, β= 96.701(5)°, V = 8173.8(8) Å3, Z = 4, R1 = 0.083] is based upon strongly undulating [(UO2)(SeO4)2]2- sheets consisting of corner-sharing UO7 bipyramids and SeO4 2- tetrahedra. The undulations of the adjacent sheets have an anti-phase character that allows the formation of large eliptical channels that are occupied by rod micelles formed by self-assembly of protonated 1,12-dodecanediamine molecules.
