In the title compound, C16H15N3O2·H2O, the two benzene rings and the triazole ring lie almost in the same plane, the triazole ring forming dihedral angles of 5.07 (9) and 5.80 (8)° with the benzene rings. In the crystal, there are three relatively strong intermolecular O—H⋯N and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which lead to the formation of a one-dimensional double chain running parallel to the a axis. Weak π—π interactions between the benzene rings of neighboring chains with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.893 (4) Å result in the formation of layers parallel to the ac plane.

A mixture of 4-methoxyphenylmethylenemalononitrile (20 mmol), hydrazine dihydrochloride (20 mmol) and hydrazine hydrate (60 mmol) in ethylene glycol (10 ml) was heated to 403 K with stirring for 3–4 h. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture was diluted with water (20 ml). The precipitate was filtered, washed with water, dried and purified by
on silica gel using CH2Cl2 as the to afford a white solid after evaporation of the solvent. The white solid was dissolved in ethanol and colourless crystals of the title compound were obtained on slow evaporation of the solvent at room temperature.Hydrogen atoms attached to carbon were placed in geometrically idealized positions (Carene—H = 0.93 Å, Cmethyl—H = 0.96 Å) and refined using a riding model with isotropic displacement parameters Uiso = 1.2 (1.5 for methyl groups) Ueq(C). The H atoms attached to N and O atoms were located by Fourier difference synthesis and refined using a riding model with isotropic displacement parameters of Uiso = 1.2 Ueq(N) and Uiso = 1.5 Ueq(O).

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. |

During the past decades, compounds containing triazole subunits have been intensively studied due to their diverse biological activities, such as antibacterial, antitumor, etc. and have become a central focus in the study of agricultural and medicinal chemicals (Chai et al., 2009; Nadkarni et al., 2001; Zhan et al., 2007). In a search for more effective antibacterial compounds, we have synthesized the title compound and determined its structure.
The molecular structure of the title compound is shown in Fig. 1. The two benzene rings and the triazole ring almost lie in the same plane. The corresponding dihedral angles of each benzene ring with the triazole ring are 5.07 (9) (between C2–C7 and N1–N3/C8/C9) and 5.80 (8)° (between N1–N3/C8/C9 and C10–C15), respectively. The bond lengths of the triazole ring are very similar to other 1H-1,2,4-triazole derivatives (Claramunt et al., 2001; Zhou et al., 2001). C8—N3 (1.365 (2) Å) and N1—N2 (1.359 (2) Å) are typical for carbon-nitrogen single bonds and nitrogen-nitrogen single bonds, and C8—N1 (1.323 (2) Å) and C9—N3 (1.330 (2) Å) correspond to typical carbon-nitrogen double bonds (John, 1998). C9—N2 (1.333 (2) Å) is a carbon-nitrogen single bond, but the bond length is markedly shorter than usual carbon-nitrogen single bonds and close to a double bond due to its conjugation with the C9—N3 double bond.
The packing of the molecules in the crystal structure is stabilized through N—H···O, O—H···O and π—π interactions. Water molecules act both as hydrogen-acceptor and as hydrogen-donor which leads to the formation of a one dimensional double chain running parallel to the a axis (Fig. 2, Table 1). The ring made up of C10 to C15 (with the centroid Cg1) is parallel to its symmetry related counterpart with a Cg1··· Cg1iii distance of 3.893 (4) Å [symmetry code: (iii)-x, -y, -z]. Adjacent chains are linked via these intermolecular π—π interactions between the Cg1 rings to form a two-dimentional layer parallel to the ac plane (Fig. 3).
