(Received 25 April 2009; accepted 5 May 2009; online 14 May 2009)

In the title compound, C11H11N3O2·H2O, the planes of the triazole and phenyl rings are almost perpendicular to each other [dihedral angle 89.5 (3)°]. The crystal packing is stabilized by strong inter­molecular O—H⋯O and O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds involving the water mol­ecule as both donor and acceptor.

Comment top

Triazole-related molecules have attracted considerable attention due to their biological activities (Olesen et al., 2003; Tian et al., 2005). Recently, we have reported the cerystal structure of a few triazole compounds (Lin et al. 2008; Xiao et al.2008). As an extension of our work on the structural characterization of the triazole-related compounds, we report herein the crystal structure of the title compound.

In the molecule of the title compound (Fig. 1), bond lengths and angles have normal values. The dihedral angle between the triazole and phenyl rings is 89.5 (3)°. The packing is stabilized by strong intermolecular O—H···O and O—H···N hydrogen bonds involving the triazole molecules and lattice water molecules (Fig.2; Table 1).

Experimental top

The title compound was prepared from azidomethylbenzene according to the reported method (El Khadem et al., 1968). Colourless prismatic crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained by slow evaporation of a 95% ethanol/water solution at room temperature.

Refinement top

The water and carboxylic H atoms were located from a difference Fourier map but not refined [Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(O)]. All other H atoms were fixed geometrically and treated as riding, with C—H = 0.93-0.97 Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or 1.5 Ueq(C) for methyl H atoms.

Special details top

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.
