Abstract: Molecules of the title compound, C₂₀H₁₆N₆.4H₂O, lie across crystallographic inversion centres. The dihedral angle between each benzotriazole moiety and the central benzene ring is 74.95  (9)°. In the crystal structure, the molecular organization is stabilized by well defined weak C-H, -, O-HO and O-HN intermolecular interactions, leading to the formation of a two-dimensional network.
