Supporting information
A 10 ml sample of a KOH solution (0.5 mol/L) was added to a water suspension of oxaluric acid, HOOCCONHCONH2 (0.5 mmol/10 ml). The KOH addition produced a partial solubilization of the acid and then the precipitation of a white solid. After 20 min of stirring, the solid was filtered off, washed with i-PrOH. The single crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained by slow diffusion of Et2O into the water solution of the solid.
Water H atoms were located in a difference Fourier and allowed to ride at the value approximately 0.83 Å with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(O). Other H atoms were positioned geometrically and treated as riding, with N—H = 0.86 Å (NH and NH2) and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(N).

Oxaluric acid is the condensation product of oxalic acid and urea. Deprotonated oxalurate possesses four oxygen atoms and two amine N atoms, which can serve as hydrogen-bond acceptors and hydrogen-bond donors, respectively. In addition, one or more of six different atoms can bind to metal centers in any of at least three distinct coordination modes, namely, chelating, terminal, or bridging coordination (Falvello, 2002).
As shown in Fig. 1, the asymmetric structure unit consists of one K+ cation, one C3H3N2O4- anion, and one water molecule. The K+ cation is surrounded by six oxalurate ligands and two water molecules, making close contacts with eight O atoms at 2.7291 (11)–2.9775 (13) A ° in a distorted square antiprismatic geometry of the central atom (Karapetyan, 2008; Kunz, 2009) (Table 1). All the eight coordinated O atoms are in the monodentate bridging mode, with the bridged K···K distance of 3.558 (1) and 3.374 (1) Å alternately. The oxalurate ligand, which is planar, shows a µ3-bridging coordination mode and links the K+ cation into a three-dimensional network (Fig. 2). The oxalurate ligands and water molecules are involved in inter- and intramolecular N—H···O, and O—H···O hydrogen bonds, which stabilize the network (Table 2).
