2,6-Bis(4H-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)pyridine dihydrate

Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C9H7N7·2H2O, comprises three formula units. The dihedral angles between the triazole rings and the respective central pyridine rings are 4.87 (16)/1.39 (17), 6.46 (16)/7.61 (16) and 7.00 (16)/3.77 (17)°. The water molecules form O—H...O hydrogen bonds between themselves and O—H...N hydrogen bonds with the N-atom acceptors of the triazole rings, producing a three-dimensional framework.
