In the title compound, C7H8N2O4·H2O, the imidazole N atom is protonated and one of the carboxylate groups is deprontonated, forming a zwitterion. The two carboxyl groups are are approximately coplanar with the imidazole ring [O—C—C—C torsion angles = −176.8 (2) and 2.9 (4)° for one group and −4.6 (3) and 176.4 (2)° for the other] and have an intramolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bond between them. The water molecule is linked to the organic molecules via an N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Intermolecular O—H⋯O and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds are found in the crystal structure.

The organic molecule powder was abtained from 2-ethylbenzimidazole according to a literature procedure (Sun et al. 2006), then the 2-ethyl-1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylate(0.5 mmol, 0.9 g) was disolved in 15 ml of H2O solution with the pH of 6 adjusted by NaOH, colorless crystals was obtained by slow evaporation of the solvent at room temperature.
H atoms of the water molecule were located in a difference Fourier map and refined as riding with an O—H distance restraint of 0.84 (1) Å, with Uiso(H) = 1.5 Ueq. The H···H distances within the water molecules were restraint to 1.39 (1) Å. Carboxyl H atoms were located in a difference map but were refined as riding on the parent O atoms with with O—H = 0.82 Å with Uiso(H) = 1.5 Ueq(O). Carbon and nitrogen bound H atoms were placed at calculated positions and were treated as riding on the parent C or N atoms with C—H = 0.96 (methyl), 0.97 (methylene) and N—H = 0.86 Å, Uiso(H) = 1.2 or 1.5 Ueq(C, N).

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 > 2sigma(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. |

4,5-imidazoledicarboxylic acid (H3IDC) ligand posesses great potential for coordination interactions and hydrogen bonding, can be deprotonated to generate H2IDC-, HIDC2- and IDC3- anions at different pH values. Up to date, it has been widely studied. 2-propyl-1H-imidazole-4,5-carboxylate (H3pimda) ligand as one derivative of H3IDC with efficient N,O-donors has been used to obtain new metal-organic complexes by our research group(Song et al., 2010; Yan et al., 2010; He et al. 2010; Fan et al. 2010; Li et al. 2010). Recently, an analogue of H3IDC, 2-ethyl-1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylate (H3EIDC)ligand has also been used to construct intriguing coordination polymers (Wang et al., 2008; Zhang et al. , 2010; Li et al., 2011;). However, the crystal structure of H3EIDC ligand has not been determined. Considering that in mind, we focus on obtaining the crystal and its crystal structure will be reported here.
As illustrated in Fig. 1, the title compound, (C7H8N2O4).H2O, crystallizes as a zwitterion in which the imidazole N atom is protonated, one of the carboxylate groups is deprontonated. The two carboxyl groups are approximately coplanar with the imidazole ring, as indicated by the fact that the O1—C1—C2—C3 and O2—C1—C2—C3 torsion angles are -176.8 (2) ° and 2.9 (4) °, respectively; the O3—C4—C3—C2 and O4—C4—C3—C2 torsion angles are -4.6 (3) ° and 176.4 (2) °, respectively. The solvent water molecules are linked to the organic ligands via N—H···O and O—H···O hydrogen bonds(Table 1), which stabilize the three-dimensional network(Fig. 2).
