✦ Synopsis
The K + cation in the racemic title compound, poly[aqua-6malato-potassium(I)], [K(C 4 H 5 O 5 )(H 2 O)] n , exists in an irregular eight-coordinate environment. The anions are linked through hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional network. The coordination environment differs from the six-coordinate environment reported in another C-centred monoclinic modification [Geise, van Loock & Lenstra (1983). Acta Cryst. C39, 69-70].
