The title compound, C13H10FN3O·H2O, exists in the E conformation with respect to the azomethane C=N double bond. The molecule is close to planar with a maximum deviation of 0.286 (2) Å. The pyridine ring is essentially coplanar with the central C(= O)N2C unit [dihedral angle = 2.02 (3)°] and the phenyl ring exhibits a dihedral angle of 14.41 (10)° with respect to the central unit. The features O—H⋯N, N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen-bond interactions between the solvent water and the benzohydrazide molecules, as well as C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and C—F⋯π [3.0833 (18) Å] interactions.

The title compound was prepared by adapting a reported procedure (Fun et al., 2008). A solution of 3-fluoropyridine-2-carbaldehyde (1.25 g,1 mmol) in ethanol (10 ml) was mixed with an ethanolic solution (10 ml) of benzohydrazide (1.36 g,1 mmol). The mixture was boiled under reflux for 12 h after adding few drops of glacial acetic acid and then cooled to room temperature. Colorless block shaped crystals, suitable for single-crystal analysis, were obtained in 61.8% yield after slow evaporation of the solution in air for a few days. 1H NMR spectrum, DMSO-d6, δ, p.p.m.: 12.12 (s, 1H, NH), 8.66 (s, 1H, CH=N), 8.53 (d, 1H, py–H(C1)), 7.54–7.95 (m, 7H, Ar–H (C2, C3, C9, C10, C11, C12, C13)). IR spectrum, ν (cm-1): 3421, 3059, 1683,1650, 1597, 1441, 1350, 1295, 1273, 1167, 1134, 1073, 922, 801, 706, 674.
The atoms H3', H1A and H1B were located from a difference Fourier map and refined isotropically. The remaining hydrogen atoms were placed in geometrically idealized positions and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with C–H distances of 0.93 Å, and with isotropic displacement parameters 1.2 times that of the parent carbon atoms. Omitted owing to bad disagreement were the reflections (0 0 2) and (1 0 2).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s 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. |

Interest in coordination chemistry of benzohydrazide has been a subject of enthusiastic research since their complexes show a wide range of catalytic properties (Heravi et al., 2007; Hou et al., 2005). Benzohydrazone derivatives are also important due to their wide spectrum of biological activities (Sreeja et al., 2004).
This molecule adopts an E conformation with respect to the C6=N2 bond and it exists in the amido form with a C7=O1 bond length of 1.2258 (17) Å which is very close to the reported C=O bond length of a similar structure (Mangalam et al., 2009). The O1 and N2 atoms are in a Z conformation with respect to C7–N3 having a torsional angle of -0.4 (2)°. The molecule is almost planar with a maximum deviation of 0.286 (2) Å for the atom C12 from its least square plane. The pyridyl ring is essentially coplanar with the central C(=O)N2C unit (dihedral angle 2.02 (3) °), the phenyl ring exhibits a dihedral angle of 14.41 (10)° with respect to the central unit.
The water molecule forms six H-bonds with two different benzohydrazone molecules. Hydrogen bond interactions such as O–H···N, O–H···O, N–H···O and C–H···O are present in the crystal system between the H atoms attached to the O1W atom and N1, N2, N3, C9 and O1 atoms of two adjacent molecules with D···A distances of 2.842 (2), 2.9495 (17), 2.7917 (17), 3.209 (2) and 2.9188 (18) Å respectively as shown in Table 1. Both H-atoms of the water molecule form bifurcated hydrogen bonds with the azomethine nitrogen, the pyridyl nitrogen and the carbonyl oxygen atoms of one neighboring molecule (Fig. 2). The water molecule acts as a hydrogen bond acceptor towards another benzohydrazone molecule through an N–H···O hydrogen bond. Through these interactions the molecules are interconnected through the water molecule to form infinite chains parallel to the b axis of the unit cell (Fig. 2). Benzohydrazone molecules within these chains also interact through weak C–F···π [3.0833 (18) Å] interactions (Fig. 2) that augment the stronger O–H···N, O–H···O, N–H···O hydrogen bonds.
