Supporting information
The title compound was synthesized by reacting 50 ml of boiling aqueous solutions, one containing 1 mmol of 3-aminopyrazine-2-carboxylic acid (Aldrich), the other containing 1 mmol of lithium hydroxide (Aldrich). The mixture was boiled under reflux for 3 h and after cooling to room temperature, filtered and left to crystallize. A few days later, colourless single crystals in the form of flat needles were found after evaporation to dryness. They were extracted, washed with cold ethanol and dried in air. A crystal used for X-ray data collection was cut to adopt the shape of a flat plate.
Water H atoms were found from difference Fourier maps and their coordinates were refined with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(O). H atoms attached to C and N atoms were positioned geometrically and refined as riding, with C—H = 0.93 and N—H = 0.86 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C,N).

Structural studies of divalent metal ion complexes with 3-aminopyrazine-2-carboxylate ligand have shown that the structures of Mg(II) and Ni(II) complexes consist of ML2(H2O)2 monomers. In the Mg(II) comoplex, the ligand adopts a cis configuration (Ptasiewicz-Bąk & Leciejewicz, 1997), while in the Ni(II) complex, a trans configuration (Ptasiewicz-Bąk & Leciejewicz, 1999). Catenated polymeric molecular patterns have been reported in the structures of a Ca(II) complex (Leciejewicz et al., 1997) and a Sr(II) complex (Leciejewicz et al., 1998), in which metal ions are bridged by ligand carboxylate groups acting as bidentate. On the other hand, the structure of a Na(I) complex with the title ligand (Tayebee et al.,2008) is three-dimensional polymeric with Na(I) ions linked by an extended bridging system formed mainly by coordinated water O atoms.
The title compound is composed of centrosymmetric dinuclear units, in which each of the two LiI ions is cheletated by a ligand via an N,O-bonding group. Its O atom acts as bidentate and bridges the other LiI ion (Fig. 1). The dinuclear unit is nearly planar with r.m.s. of 0.0125 (2) Å. The LiI ion is also coordinated by two water O atoms, which bridge the dinuclear units into molecular columns along two bridging pathways propagating in the b-axis direction (Fig. 2). The coordination geometry of the LiI ion is trigonal bipyramidal, with the equatorial plane formed by O1, O3, O3ii and with N1 and O1i at the axial positions [symmetry codes: (i) 1-x, 1-y, 1-z; (ii) x, y-1, z]. The Li—O and Li—N bond distances (Table 1) and bond angles are typical for Li(I) complexes with carboxylate ligands (see, for example, Tombul et al., 2008). The columns are linked by a network of hydrogen bonds, in which water O atoms are donors and the non-bonded carboxylate O atoms in adjacent columns act as acceptors. A weak hydrogen bond links an amino N atom with a hetero-ring N atom in the adjacent column. An intramolecular hydrogen bond which operates between the amino N3 atom and the non-bonding carboxylate O2 atom is also observed (Table 2).
