2,6-Bis(4H-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)pyridine dihydrate

S. Y. Liu and Y. Wang

Abstract: In the asymmetric unit of the title compound, C₉H₇N₇·2H₂O, there are two formula units in which the two triazole rings of each of the organic component molecules form dihedral angles of 7.0 (4)/6.9 (4) and 2.7 (4)/3.6 (4)° with the respective central pyridine rings. The four water molecules of solvation form O-HO hydrogen bonds among themselves and O-HN bonds with the N-atom acceptors of the triazine rings, giving a three-dimensional framework structure.
