trans-1,2-Bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene monohydrate

W. Huang and H.-F. Qian

Abstract: In the title compound, C₁₂H₁₀N₂·H₂O, intermolecular O-HN hydrogen bonds are highly effective in forming a one-dimensional chain. In addition, the presence of C-HO hydrogen bonds helps to build a three-dimensional supramolecular network, thereby stabilizing the crystal structure.
