The structure of 8-amino-2-naphthalenesulfonic acid monohydrate (1,7-Cleve's acid hydrate), C10H9NO3S·H2O, shows the presence of a sulfonate–aminium group zwitterion, both groups and the water molecule of solvation giving cyclic R33(8) O—H⋯O and N—H⋯O intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions, forming chains which extend down the a axis of the Additional peripheral associations, including weak aromatic ring π–π interactions [centroid–centroid distance = 3.6299 (15) Å], result in a two-dimensional sheet structure.

The title compound (I) was isolated as the only product from the attempted preparation of an adduct compound of 8-amino-2-naphthalenesulfonic acid (1-naphthylamine-7-sulfonic acid) with picrylsulfonic acid, by heating together for 10 min under reflux 1 mmol quantities of the two reagents in 40 ml of 50% ethanol-water. The crystals formed as colourless flat prisms after partial room-temperature evaporation of the hot-filtered solution.
Hydrogen atoms potentially involved in hydrogen-bonding interactions were located by difference methods and their positional and isotropic displacement parameters were refined. Other H atoms were included in the
at calculated positions (C–H = 0.93 Å) as riding models with Uiso fixed at 1.2Ueq(C).Data collection: CrysAlis CCD (Oxford Diffraction, 2008); cell

Geometry. Bond distances, angles etc. have been calculated using the rounded fractional coordinates. All su's are estimated from the variances of the (full) variance-covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account in the estimation of distances, angles and torsion angles |
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. |

8-Amino-2-naphthalenesulfonic acid (1-naphthylamine-7-sulfonic acid: 1,7-Cleve's acid) is a compound which along with 1,6-Cleve's acid has important industrial chemical applications as an azo dye precursor (O'Neil, 2001). Although the preliminary crystal data for a number of aminonaphthalenesulfonic acids were reported by Corbridge et al. (1966), the crystal structures of very few have been determined. We reported the structure of 5-amino-2-naphthalenesulfonic acid (1,6-Cleve's acid) (Smith et al., 2004) which, together with the 1:1 adduct of 1,7-Cleve's acid with strychnine (Smith et al., 2007) represent the only crystallographically characterized examples. In both of these structures the molecules exist as sulfonate–amino group zwitterions as is commonly the case with the aminosulfonic acids.
The crystals used for the determination of the structure reported here, the hydrate C10H9NO3S.H2O (I), were obtained from the attempted preparation of a co-crystal with picrylsulfonic acid in ethanol-water solvent, the usual reported form of the acid is the same monohydrate. The unit-cell parameters and space group reported for this compound (Corbridge et al., 1964) (orthorhombic, a = 8.91, b = 16.44, c = 7.14 Å, space group P21cn (non-standard setting) are comparable to those determined here for (I).
The molecules of 1,7-Cleve's acid monohydrate in (I), like those of the isomeric anhydrous 1,6-Cleve's acid (Smith et al., 2004), not unexpectedly show the presence of a sulfonate–aminium group zwitterion (Fig. 1). However, the presence of the water molecule of solvation in (I) results in significantly different hydrogen-bonding characteristics. Whereas with 1,6-Cleve's acid, the aminium protons give interactions with the sulfonate-O acceptors of three separate acid species, giving a 3-D structure, in (I) the structure is 2-D (Fig. 2). The primary intermolecular sulfonate–aminium group interaction involves the water molecule in a cyclic R33(8) association resulting in chains extending down the a direction in the unit cell. Additional peripheral interactions (Table 1) together with weak intermolecular π–π aromatic ring associations [minimum ring centroid separation, 3.6299 (15) Å for the six-membered ring C5–C10], give the structure extension across c (Fig. 3).
