Abstract: The molecule of the title compound, C₁₅H₁₃O₂N₃·H₂O, is nearly planar, with an intramolecular NO hydrogen bond of 2.616 (2) Å. It exists in the phenol-imine form and the dihedral angle between the two aromatic ring systems is 1.04 (5)°. An unsolvated form, crystallized from the same medium, has also been reported [Odabasoglu, Albayrak & Büyükgüngör (2005). Acta Cryst. E61, o425-o426].
