Abstract: In the title compound, [K(C₉H₆NO₄S)(H₂O)], (I), the K⁺ ion, surrounded by the N and O atoms of the quinolinol moiety (bidentate chelation), three O atoms from the sulfonate groups and a water molecule, has a distorted octahedral geometry. The multiple coordination mode of the sulfonate group, the bidentate chelation of the oxine moiety and the hydrogen-bonded network lead to a supramolecular architecture in the crystal structure of (I).
