The Ca and Zr atoms in the title compound, poly[octa­aqua­tetra-μ-oxalato-calciumdipotassiumzirconate(IV)], [CaK2Zr(C2O4)4(H2O)8], are chelated by bridging oxalate groups to form a three-dimensional network; the two independent water-coordinated K atoms occupy the space within the network and also inter­act with the oxalate O atoms to result in eight-coordination for the K atoms. The title compound is isostructural with [CdK2Zr(C2O4)4(H2O)8] [Jeanneau, Audebrand & Louer (2002). J. Mater. Chem. 12, 2383–2389]. All the metal ions occupy special positions with \overline{4} site symmetry.

Author Response: The space group is I-4 and not I41/a as suggested by checkcif. Editor's comment: this seems to be a glitch; my version of PLATON shows no such problems.

Author Response: The reflections that should be absent from the 4~1~ and a-glide symmetry operations are present. In I41/a, the structure refines with non-positive definites to an R exceeding 10%.
