The triazole ring in the title compound, C14H12N4O2·H2O, makes dihedral angles of 36.9 (1) and 37.3 (1)° with the two benzene rings. Each hydroxy group is a hydrogen-bond donor to a two-coordinate N atom of an adjacent molecule; these O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds generate a layer parallel to the ab plane. Adjacent layers are linked by N—-H⋯O and Owater—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional network.

4-Hydroxybenzonitrile (3 mmol), hydrazine dihydrochloride (1 mmol) and anhydrous hydrazine (3 mmol) along with n-butanol (3 ml) were placed in a microwave synthesizer tube. The tube was irradiated in a CEM Discovery Synthesizer. The magnetron was set to 'normal' and the temperature to 403 K. The tube was irradiated for 8 minutes. Water (10 ml) was added to dissolve the contents. The solution was set aside for the growth of the faint-yellow crystals, which separated after 3 days.
Carbon-bound H-atoms were placed in calculated positions (C—H 0.95 Å) and were included in the
in the riding model approximation, with U(H) set to 1.2U(C). The amino and water H-atoms were located in a difference Fourier map, and were refined with distance restraints [N–H 0.86 + 0.01 Å and O–H 0.84 + 0.01 Å]; their displacement parameters were freely refined. For the water molecule, the H···H distance was restrained to 1.37±0.01 Å. 402 Friedel pairs were merged.The class of 3,5-bis(n-hydroxyphenyl)-4-amino-1,2,4-triazoles represents a class of efficient corrosion inhibitors that are synthesized from n-hydroxybenzonitrile, hydrazine and hydrazine sulfate. The pure product is obtained in a number of steps that involve acidification/basification followed by recrystallization, as exemplified by 3,5-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-4-amino-1,2,4-triazole (Bentiss et al., 1998). The compound can be synthesized, more conveniently, though a microwave route. The compound is, in fact, a monohydrate (Scheme I, Fig. 1).

The class of 3,5-bis(n-hydroxyphenyl)-4-amino-1,2,4-triazoles represents a class of efficient corrosion inhibitors that are synthesized from n-hydroxybenzonitrile, hydrazine and hydrazine sulfate. The pure product is obtained in a number of steps that involve acidification/basification followed by recrystallization, as exemplified by 3,5-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-4-amino-1,2,4-triazole (Bentiss et al., 1998). The compound can be synthesized, more conveniently, though a microwave route. The compound is, in fact, a monohydrate (Scheme I, Fig. 1).
