In the title compound, C14H12ClN3O2·H2O, the benzene ring and the pyridine rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 57.73 (12)° and an intramolecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bond generates an S(6) ring. In the crystal, the water molecule forms O—H⋯O and O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds to the organic molecule, leading to chains containing R44(16) loops. In addition, weak aromatic π–π stacking interactions between the centroids of pyridine rings [at distance of 3.864 (2) and 4.013 (2) Å] and C—H⋯π interactions occur.

To a hot stirred solution of 5-chloro-2-hydroxyacetophenone (1.71 g, 0.01 mole) in ethanol, 25 ml nicotinic acid hydrazide (1.37 g, 0.01 mol) was added. The resultant mixture was then heated under reflux for 7–8 h. The reaction was monitored through TLC. The precipitate were formed were collected by suction filteration. The resultant crude material was dried and recrystalized in 1,4-dioxan:ethanol(1:2) to affoard light brown needles of (I).
The coordinates of H-atoms of water molecule were refined. The H-atoms were positioned geometrically (O–H = 0.82, N–H = 0.86, C–H = 0.93–0.96 Å) and refined as riding with Uiso(H) = xUeq(C, N, O), where x = 1.5 for methyl and x = 1.2 for all other H-atoms.

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. |

We have reported crystal structures of Schiff bases containing pyridne (Shafiq et al., 2009a, 2009b) and as a part of this project, we report herein the structure and synthesis of the title compound (I, Fig. 1).
In (I) the group A (C1–C8/O1/CL1) of 5-chloro-2-hydroxyacetophenone, the central group B (N1/N2/C9/O2) and the pyridine ring C (C10—C14/N3) are planar with r. m. s. deviation of 0.0330, 0.0182 and 0.0082 Å, respectively. The dihedral angle between A/B, A/C and B/C is 6.62 (11), 58.08 (10) and 52.98 (14)°, respectively. There exist intramolecular H-bonding of O—H···N type forming an S(6) ring motif (Bernstein et al., 1995). The water molecule acts as donar as well as accepter and therefore interconnects three molecules. Due to intra as well as intermolecular H-bondings of O—H···O and O—H···N types (Table 1, Fig. 2), the title compound is stabilized in infinite one dimensional polymeric chains. In the polymeric chains R44(16) ring motifs are formed. The π–π interactions exist between the centroids of pyridine rings at distance of 3.864 (2) Å [symmetry: -x, -y, 1 - z] and at 4.013 (2) Å [symmetry: 1 - x, 1 - y, 1 - z]. The C—H···π interaction (Table 1) also plays an important role in stabilizing the structure.
