Abstract: Two chiral centres exist in the title compound, C₁₂H₁₂N₄O₃·H₂O. Molecules are linked into chains by series of intermolecular N-HO and O-HN hydrogen bonds, which causes supramolecular aggregation. Two chiral centres are formed in the title compound. The indole and creatinine moieties make a dihedral angle of 56.75 (4)°. The crystal structure of the compound indicates the presence of equimolar enantiomers (RR and SS) in the crystal structure.
