(E)-4-Methoxy-N′-[(pyridin-4-yl)methylidene]benzohydrazide monohydrate

Abstract

In the title compound, C14H13N3O2·H2O, the azomethine double bond adopts an E conformation and the N—N=C—C torsion angle is 178.37 (19)°. The dihedral angle between the benzene and pyridine rings is 5.58 (12)° and the C atom of the methoxy group is roughly coplanar with its attached ring [deviation = 0.157 (3) Å]. In the crystal, the components are linked by O—H...O, O—H...N, N—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming (001) sheets. The water O atom accepts one N—H...O and two C—H...O interactions from the adjacent organic molecule.
