Fig 1. Liquid -assisted grinding in the system 5 (anhydrous L-serine+andydrous oxalic acid+water drop). Amount of liquid water varied according with η-criterion (η=0.05, 0.1, 0.25, and 1).1 The formation of [L-serH]2[ox]▪2H2O form II was detected (trace amount along with initial reactants) at η=0.05. The mixtures of [L-serH]2[ox]▪2H2O polymorphs were observed at η=0.1. The LAG at η=0.25 gave only [L-serH]2[ox]▪2H2O form I with significant amount of L-serine monohydrate. Finally, almost total transformation of initial components to [L-serH]2[ox]▪2H2O form I was obtained at η=1. LS - L-serine, LSM – L-serine monohydrate, OA – oxalic acid (alpha-form), OAD – oxalic acid dihydrate

Fig 3. FTIR ATR spectra of [L-serH]2[ox]▪2H2O: a) form I, b) form II. The fundamental vibrations corresponding to NH3
+, COO- and OH-groups are shown by arrows (and pointed out in a table 1-ESI): 1 – OH stretching; 2 – NH3+
stretching; 3 – COO- asymmetric stretching; 4 - COO- symmetric stretching. An assignment for all the modes is shown in the Table 1-ESI

Table 2. Graph sets for [L-serH]2[ox]▪2H2O I form. D – finite discrete motif, C – infinite chain motif, R – ring motif. Superscript and subscript correspond to the number of proton acceptors and donors, respectively. When no subscript and superscript are given, one donor and one acceptor are implied. The size or degree of a pattern, based on the number of atoms in a hydrogen-bonded ring, for example, is shown in parentheses following the graph set descriptor2,3
