In the title compound, C23H17N5·H2O, the pyrazole rings are slightly twisted from the central pyridine ring, forming dihedral angles of 5.3 (2) and 3.5 (2)°. The pyrazole and phenyl rings on each side of the pyridine ring are also approximately coplanar, making dihedral angles of 6.0 (2) and 4.5 (2)°. In the crystal structure, 2,6-bis(3-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)pyridine and water molecules are linked together via N-H
O and O-H
N hydrogen bonds, forming a column running parallel to the a axis.
All reagents were of analytical grade and used without further purification. Bppp was prepared by the general procedure of Zhou and Chen (2007a). Bppp (36 mg, 0.1 mmol) in 20 ml of water in a sealed stainless vial was heated at 170 °C for 48 h. Cooling the vial slowly (1 °C/h) afforded colorless crystals. Analysis found: C 72.64, H 4.90, N 18.25%; calculated for C23H19N5O: C 72.42, H 5.02, N 18.36%.
Water H atoms were located in a difference Fourier map and refined isotropically with bond and distance restraints of O—H = 0.83 (1) and H···H = 1.45 (1) Å. Other H atoms were positioned geometrically and treated as riding, with C—H = 0.93 and N—H = 0.86 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C,N).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F^2^ against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F^2^, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F^2^. The threshold expression of F^2^ > σ(F^2^) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F^2^ are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Pyrazolyl ligands are a kind of mutifuntional organic ligands often displaying exo-bidentate coordination mode (Dias & Gamage, 2007; Zhou & Chen, 2007a; Zhang et al., 2007). The title compound, 2,6-bis(3-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)pyridine (hereinafter abbreviated to bppp), is a pincer-like bispyrazolyl ligand. As a kind of anionic multidentate linker, it is a suitable candidate to connect transition metals into aggregate (Zhou & Chen, 2007b).
As shown in Fig. 1, the asymmetric unit contains one bppp molecule and one water molecule, and they are linked together via N—H···O hydrogen bonds. The pyrazole rings are slightly twisted from the central pyridine ring with the dihedral angles of 5.3 (2) and 3.5 (2)°. The pyrazole and phenyl rings on each side of the molecule are also approximately coplanar with the dihedral angles of 6.0 (2) and 4.5 (2)°. Furthermore, O—H···N hydrogen bonds extend it in a one-dimensional chains running parallel to the a axis (Fig. 2). All bond lengths and angles in the title compound are normal.
