Abstract: In the crystal structure of the title compound, C₁₆H₁₄O₆·H₂O, the dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 60.8 (3)°. Molecules are linked through a bifurcated O-HO hydrogen bond, forming a zigzag chain along the b axis. The chains are further linked by O-HO hydrogen bonds mediated by water molecules.
