The asymmetric unit of the title compound, 7C10H8N2·4C10H13N3O2S·2H2O, contains two independent 2,4-hydroxybenzaldehyde 4-ethylthiosemicarbazone molecules, three and a half 4,4'-bipyridine molecules and one water molecule. Two of the 4,4'-bipyridine molecules lie on general positions and the other three on centers of inversion. The two 4,4'-bipyridine molecules on general positions and one of the three on special positions are disordered over two positions each with an occupancy of 0.50. The -NH-C(=S)-NH-NC fragment is close to planar in the two 2,4-hydroxybenzaldehyde 4-ethylthiosemicarbazone molecules (r.m.s. deviations = 0.04 and 0.05 Å). In the crystal, the Schiff base, N-heterocycle and water molecules engage in O-H
O, O-H
N and N-H
O hydrogen-bonding interactions, generating a layer structure.
4,4'-Bipyridine forms a number of clathrates with diphenols; for the quinol clathrate, see: Oswald et al. (2005
) and for the 2,2'-biphenol clathrate, see: Lavender et al. (1999
). For the crystal structure of 2,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde 4-ethylthiosemicarbazone, see: Tan et al. (2008
).
