The 8H8O4·H2O, contains two organic molecules which are connected by the two water molecules through O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming an R44(12) ring. Further O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds assemble these rings through R66(18) rings, giving rise to infinite helical chains arranged around the b axis. These helical chains are assembled by offset π–π stacking interactions [centroid–centroid distance = 3.6432 (8) Å] between the aromatic rings of neigboring chains, forming a supramolecular network.

2-Hydroxy-3-methoxybenzoic acid was dissolved in hot water with stirring. Colorless single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were obtained at room temperature by slow evaporation of the solvent over a period of several days.
H atoms on 2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzoic acid were placed at calculated positions and were treated as riding on the parent C atoms with C—H = 0.93 Å (aromatic ring) or 0.96 Å (methyl group), O—H = 0.82 Å (hydroxyl and carboxylate groups) and with Uiso(H) = 1.2 or 1.5 Ueq(C, O). Water H atoms were tentatively located in difference Fourier maps and were refined with distance restraints of O–H = 0.85 Å and H···H = 1.39 Å, each within a standard deviation of 0.01 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.5 Ueq(O). In the last stage of
the H attached to water molecule were treated as riding on their parent O atoms.Data collection: APEXII (Bruker, 2004); cell

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 F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Hydrogen-bonding interactions between ligands are specific and directional. In this sense, 2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzoic acid is an excellent candidate for the construction of supramolecular complexes, which have multiple coordination modes and form regular hydrogen bonds functioning as both a hydrogen-bond donor and acceptor (Kozlevcar et al., 2006, Liu et al., 2007, Moncol et al., 2006). Recently, we obtained the title compound of (I) under hydrothermal condition.
The asymmetric unit of the title compound (I) contains two molecules which are connected by the water molecules trough O—H···O hydrogen bonds building up a R44(12) ring (Etter et al., 1990; Bernstein et al., 1995) (Table 1, Fig. 1). The C—C and C—O distances ranging from 1.225 (2) to 1.425 (2) Å, show no remarkable features. These rings are further connected to each other by O—H···O hydrogen bonds buiding a R66 (18) ring to form helical chains arranged around the [0 1/2 0] axis (Table 1, Fig. 2). These helical chains are further assembled through offset π-π stacking interactions between the aromatic rings of neigboring chains (centroid to centroid distance of 3.6432 (8) Å [Symmetry code: 1 - x,1 - y,-1 - z]; interplanar distance of 3.44 Å and slippest distances of 1.20 Å) to form a supramolecular network.
