The title compound, a hydrate of 3,5-diamino-1,2,4-triazole (DATA), C2H5N5·H2O, was synthesized in the presence of sodium perchlorate. The evaporation of H2O from its aqueous solution resulted in anhydrous DATA, suggesting that sodium perchlorate was required to precipitate the DATA hydrate. The DATA hydrate crystallizes in the P21/c in the form of needle-shaped crystals with one DATA and one water molecule in the The water molecules form a three-dimensional network in the Hirshfeld surface analysis revealed that 8.5% of the intermolecular interactions originate from H⋯O contacts derived from the incorporation of the water molecules.

1. Chemical context
Researchers have focused on the development of less sensitive and highly energetic materials. The sensitivity of energetic materials is related to their crystal structures and intermolecular interactions (Kuklja & Rashkeev, 2007). Additionally, the density, which strongly influences the detonation performance, can be calculated from the Hence, the determination of the can elucidate the characteristics of energetic materials.
Azole derivatives have been recognized as promising frameworks for energetic materials because of their high heats of formation (Fisher et al., 2012; Kumasaki et al., 2021; Inoue et al., 2022a). Tetrazoles, triazoles, and imidazoles are N-rich heterocyclic azole derivatives. Several energetic materials, including organic explosives, energetic salts, and co-crystals, have been synthesized using azole compounds (Kumasaki et al., 2011; Mori et al., 2021; Inoue et al., 2022b).
In our previous study, 1H-tetrazole was co-crystallized with NaClO4; NaClO4 is an oxidizer that is sometimes used in pyrotechnics (Inoue et al., 2022b). The exhibited high sensitivity, which was comparable to that of typical primary explosives (Inoue et al., 2022a). Subsequently, 3,5-diamino-1,2,4-triazole (guanazole, DATA) was selected as the target material for co-crystallization with NaClO4. However, our attempt to prepare a of DATA and NaClO4 resulted instead in crystals of DATA hydrate, which has not been previously been reported. Although DATA is used as a raw material in the synthesis of various energetic compounds (Khan et al., 2024; Zhang et al., 2010; Yin et al., 2015), understanding its hydration is valuable for its treatment.
2. Structural commentary
DATA hydrate (Fig. 1) crystallizes in the P21/c with one DATA molecule and one water molecule in the The two N atoms of the amino groups are not coplanar with the mean plane of the ring structure, the distances between the mean plane of the ring structure and N5 and N6 being 0.0719 (19) and 0.1038 (19) Å, respectively. The N4—N3 bond [1.3943 (13) Å] is longer than all of the C—N bonds [the range is 1.3797 (15) for C7—N6 to 1.3185 (15) Å for N3—C7]. Furthermore, the N2—C8 double bond [1.3400 (15) Å] is longer than C8—N4 [1.3337 (15) Å], which is a single bond. Table 1 compares the bond lengths of hydrated and non-hydrated DATA (Klapötke et al., 2010). Evidently, the N2—C8 and N2—C7 bonds in DATA hydrate are longer than those of non-hydrated DATA. The differences between all of the bond lengths are statistically significant.

3. Supramolecular features
In the crystal, the DATA and H2O molecules form a layered structure (Fig. 2), with layers parallel to the (102) plane and an interlayer distance of 3.26969 (4) Å. The O1—H1A⋯N3 and O1⋯H5A—N5 hydrogen bonds form the layers while the O1—H1B⋯N2 and N4—H4⋯N3 hydrogen bonds connect adjacent layers (Table 2, Fig. 3). The water molecules produce a 3D network within the crystal. A water molecule forms two hydrogen bonds with two DATA molecules from the same layer [O1—H1A⋯N3(1 − x, + y, − z) and O1⋯H5A—N5(x, − y, + z)] and one with that from an adjacent layer (O1—H1B⋯N2). Atoms N5 of the amino group and N2 from the ring form hydrogen bonds with each water molecule; however, N6 is not involved in hydrogen bonding. Two DATA molecules in two adjacent layers are mutually connected by two N4—H4⋯N3(−x, −y, −z) hydrogen bonds.
The supramolecular interactions in DATA hydrate were further investigated through Hirshfeld surface analysis using Crystal Explorer 21 (Spackman et al., 2021). Fig. 4 shows the fingerprint plots for a molecule of DATA non-hydrate (Klapötke et al., 2010) and DATA hydrate. The third spike concerning the H⋯O interaction was observed upon hydration, whereas the DATA non-hydrate exhibited two spikes of N⋯H and H⋯N. The dominant interaction of DATA non-hydrate was N⋯H/H⋯N of 53.0%, which decreased to 39.3% with the incorporation of water molecules, and the H⋯O interaction contributes 8.5% to the crystal packing. The contribution of H⋯H interactions in DATA hydrate is 37.9%, which is higher than that of DATA non-hydrate (34.2%).
4. Database survey
Previous studies on DATA were explored in the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD, June 2024; Groom et al., 2016). The search resulted in four reports: DAMTRZ11 (Klapötke et al., 2010), DAMTRZ22 (Ivanova & Spiteller, 2017), DAMTRZ10 (Starova et al., 1979) and DAMTRZ20 (Starova et al., 1980). The title DATA hydrate forms a layered structure in a monoclinic whereas anhydrous DATA was reported to form a herringbone structure.
5. Synthesis and crystallization
DATA was purchased from Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. Sodium perchlorate was obtained from Kanto Chemical Co., Inc. DATA (1 mmol) and sodium perchlorate (1 mmol) were dissolved in deionized water, and the solvent was removed in a silica gel desiccator. After one week, needle-shaped crystals were precipitated (yield: 40.81%). Interestingly, the evaporation of water from an aqueous solution of DATA generated block-shaped non-hydrated DATA crystals. Therefore, sodium perchlorate was required to precipitate the DATA hydrate. The mass proportion of H2O in the crystals was measured using thermogravimetry. A Thermoplus TG8120 (Rigaku) was used with an Al2O3 open cell. The heating rate was set to 10 K min−1. Flow gas was not used to prevent dehydration under the dried flow gas. The measured mass proportion of H2O in the crystal was 14.51%, which was slightly lower than the theoretical mass content of H2O (15.38%).
6. Dehydration behavior
After the storage of DATA hydrate over one night at 33% RH (saturated salt method (Greenspan, 1977); MgCl, 295 K), the water in the hydrate was removed and DATA hydrate turned into DATA. In contrast, after the storage at room temperature (approximately 295 K) and 60% RH for one night, the crystals remained as hydrates.
7. Refinement
The crystal data, data collection, and structural . The H atoms were identified using difference-Fourier maps and all H-atom parameters were refined.

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. |
