1,4-Bis(4H-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)benzene dihydrate

Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C10H8N6·2H2O, comprises half the organic species, the molecule being completed by inversion symmetry, and one water molecule. The dihedral angle between the 1,2,4-triazole ring and the central benzene ring is 32.2 (2)°. The water molecules form O—H...N hydrogen bonds with N-atom acceptors of the triazole rings. C—H...N hydrogen bonds are also observed, giving a three-dimensional framework.
