Crystals of the title compound, C14H9BrI2N2O2·H2O, were obtained from a condensation reaction of 3-bromobenzohydrazide with 3,5-diiodosalicylaldehyde. The Schiff base molecule assumes an E configuration with respect to the C=N bond, and the dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 6.9 (2)°. An intramolecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bond is observed in the Schiff base molecule and may contribute to its overall near planarity. In the molecules are linked through intermolecular O—H⋯O and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming layers parallel to the bc plane. Short intermolecular I⋯O contacts [2.930 (5) Å] are also found, linking the molecules into zigzag chains along b.

3-Bromobenzohydrazide (1.0 mmol, 215.2 mg) and 3,5-diiodosalicylaldehyde (1.0 mmol, 374.9 mg) were stirred at room temperature for two hours. The filtrate was kept in air for a week to obtain yellow block-shaped crystals of (I).
Atoms H2, H3A and H3B were located in a difference Fourier map and refined isotropically, with the N–H, O–H, and H···H distances restrained to 0.90 (1), 0.85 (1), and 1.37 (2) Å, respectively. Other H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model with d(C–H) = 0.93 Å, d(O–H) = 0.82 Å and Uiso = 1.2Ueq(C) and 1.5Ueq(O).

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds 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 > 2sigma(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. |

Schiff bases have been demonstrated to possess interesting biological activities (Bedia et al., 2006; Richardson & Bernhardt, 1999; Koh et al., 1998; Prasad et al., 2007). These compounds have been widely used as versatile ligands in coordination chemistry (Adams et al., 2000; Ainscough et al., 1998; Roth et al., 2007). Recently, the crystal structures of such compounds have been extensively reported (Fun et al., 2008; Butcher et al., 2007; Zhi & Yang, 2007). In this paper, the new title Schiff base, (I), Fig. 1, is reported.
The asymmetric unit of (I) contains a Schiff base molecule and a water molecule of crystallization. The Schiff base molecule assumes an E configuration with respect to the C═N bond. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 6.9 (2)°, indicating that the molecule is essentially planar. An intramolecular O—H···N hydrogen bond is observed in the Schiff base molecule and may contribute to its overall planarity. All bond lengths in (I) are within normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987) and comparable to the corresponding values in other similar compounds (Ejsmont et al., 2008; Yathirajan et al., 2007; Narayana et al., 2007).
In the crystal structure, molecules are linked through intermolecular O–H···O and N–H···O (Table 1) hydrogen bonds, forming layers parallel to the bc plane (Fig. 2). Additional short intermolecular I1···O12i contacts, 2.930 (5)Å, i = 1-x, -1/2+y, 1/2+z, are also observed linking molecules into zig-zag chains along b. Similar short I···O contacts have been reported previously (Britton, 2003).
