The K(+) cation lies on a crystallographic twofold rotation axis (site symmetry 2, Wyckoff position f), and the water and oxalurate mol-ecules are located within different mirror planes (site symmetry m, Wyckoff position g). The K(+) cation is eight-coordinated by six O atoms of six oxalurate ligands and two O atoms from two water mol-ecules in a distorted square-anti-prismatic geometry. All of the eight coordinated O atoms are in a monodentate bridging mode, with alternate bridged K?K distances of 3.5575?(12) and 3.3738?(12)?Å. The oxalurate ligand shows a ?(3)-bridging coordination mode, which links the K(+) cation into a three-dimensional network. The oxalurate ligands and the water mol-ecules are involved in inter- and intra-molecular N-H?O, and O-H?O hydrogen bonds, which stabilize the network.Acta crystallographica.
