Abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, 4C₁₇H₁₇NO·H₂O, contains four independent naphthalenol molecules and one molecule of water. All of the molecules in the asymmetric unit are connected into a contiguous row via O-HO hydrogen bonds. This unique hydrogen-bonded row is, in turn, linked to form extended O-HO hydrogen-bonded chains, through unit-cell translations in the a direction. The hydrogen-bonding motif also contains an O(water)-H(arene) weak hydrogen bond, with an HCg distance of 2.64  (4)  Å (where Cg is the center of gravity of the phenyl ring).
