The title Schiff base compound, C13H11NO5S·3H2O, formed from sulfanilic acid and 2,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde, crystallized out as a zwitterion with the N atom protonated. The consists of one 4-[(2,4-dihydroxybenzylidene)ammonio]benzenesulfonate and three water molecules. The zwitterion exists in an E configuration with respect to the central C=N double bond. The two benzene rings of the molecule are oriented at a dihedral angle of 27.33 (8)°. An intramolecular N–H⋯O hydrogen bond stabilizes the molecular structure. In the crystal, the are linked into chains along [101] by intermolecular O—H⋯O and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The three water molecules link these chains into a three-dimensional framework by additional intermolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. A π⋯π interaction [3.5485 (9) Å] further stabilizes the crystal structure.

2,4-Dihydroxybenzaldehyde (0.069 g) and sulfanilic acid (0.861 g) in ethanol/water (40 ml) were heated under reflux for 2 h with stirring. The colour of the solution gradually changed from colourless to lemon yellow. The solution was then cooled to room temperature. After few days, slow evaporation of the solvent yielded yellow crystals of compound (I).
The O and N bound H-atoms were located from difference Fourier map and refined freely. The H-atoms of the water molecules were located from a difference Fourier map and constrained to refine with the parent atom with Uiso(H) = 1.5 Ueq(O). The C-bound H-atoms were positioned geometrically with a riding model with C–H = 0.93 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C).

Experimental. The crystal was placed in the cold stream of an Oxford Cryosystems Cobra open-flow nitrogen cryostat (Cosier & Glazer, 1986) operating at 100.0 (1) K. |
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 > 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. |

Schiff bases derived from aromatic amines and aromatic aldehydes have a wide variety of applications in many fields, e.g., biological, inorganic and analytical chemistry (Singh et al., 1975; Elmali et al., 1999; Patel et al., 1999). Schiff base compounds have been of great interest for many years. p-aminobenzenesulfonic acid is known as sulfanilic acid, which contains NH3+ and SO3- groups. Sulfanilic acid is a salt, but of a rather special kind, called a zwitterion. It is the product of the reaction between an acidic group and a basic group that are part of the same molecule. The hydrogen is attached to nitrogen rather than oxygen simply because the NH2 group is a stronger base than the SO3- substituent. A zwitterionic structure was also observed in the crystal structure of sulfanilic acid monohydrate (Rae & Maslen, 1962; Banu & Golzar, 2006). The crystal structure of the Schiff base formed from sulfanilic acid and dimethylformamide has also been reported in the literature (Hempel et al., 1999). The present work is part of a structural study of compounds of Schiff base systems and we report here the structure of the title compound, (I).
The 4-[(2,4-dihydroxybenzylidene)-amino]benzenesulfonic acid molecule crystallized out as a zwitterion, 4-[(2,4-dihydroxybenzylidene)-ammonio]benzenesulfonate. The asymmetric unit consists of one 4-[(2,4-dihydroxybenzylidene)-ammonio]benzenesulfonate and three water molecules (Fig. 1). The zwitterion exists in an E configuration with respect to the central C=N double bond. The two benzene rings [C1–C6 and C8–C13] are oriented at 27.33 (8)°. An intramolecular N1–H1N1···O1 hydrogen bond forms a six-membered ring, generating S(6) ring motif (Bernstein et al., 1995). The zwitterions are linked into chains along [101] by intermolecular O2–H1O2···O3 and N1–H1N1···O5 hydrogen bonds. The three water molecules linked these chains into a three-dimensional framework by intermolecular O–H···O hydrogen bonds (Fig. 2, Table 2). An unusually short H2W1···H1W2 distance is also observed. A Cg1···Cg1 interaction of 3.5485 (9) Å; -x, 2-y, 1-z, further stabilizes the crystal structure [Cg1 is the centroid of the C1–C6 benzene ring].
