The original material, kindly provided by Laboratorios Quesada Farmacéutica, was dissolved in chloroform and the solution was left to slowly concentrate at ambient temperature in air. After one week, well developed single crystals in the form of rhomboidal plates, suitable for X-ray diffraction, were obtained. Since no particular effort was made to have a water-free solvent nor to inhibit air/moisture from getting into the solution, the reasons for the presence of a solvation water molecule may be multiple. A thermogravimetric experiment in the temperature range 300–600 K showed a diffuse mass loss in the range 340–370 K (mass loss found = 2.26%; expected mass loss for 0.5H2O = 2.17%).
In both independent molecules, atom O1 attached to C21 appears split over two sites, but with different occupancies, viz. 0.873 (3):0.127 (3) in molecule A and 0.821 (3):0.179 (3) in molecule B. This disorder is thus configurational, with both moieties in the selected asymmetric unit having the S configuration for the major fraction. The split O atoms were restrained to have the same C—O distance and the same anisotropic displacement parameters (SADI and EADP instructions in SHELXL). All the H atoms (except those attached to O1A' and O1B', which consequently were not included in the model) were found in a difference Fourier map. Those attached to C atoms were placed at calculated positions (C—H = 0.93 Å and methyl C—H = 0.96 Å) and were allowed to ride. Those attached to O and N atoms were refined for a further few cycles with restrained O—H = N—H = 0.90 (1) Å distances, and left to ride afterwards. In all cases, displacement parameters were taken as Uiso(H) = kUeq(carrier), where k = 1.5 for the methyl groups and 1.2 for all other H atoms.

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. |

Carvedilol is a drug indicated for use in the treatment of mild-to-moderate congestive heart failure, acting both as a β1/β2-blocker and as an α1-blocker. It counteracts the (sometimes undesirable) effect of natural norepinephrine, a drug/hormone produced in the human body which by binding to the β1- and β2-adrenergic receptors (Stafylas & Sarafidis, 2008) stimulates the nerves controlling the muscles of the heart, and by binding to the α1-adrenergic receptors on blood vessels causes them to constrict and thus raise blood pressure (Othman et al., 2007). Through a blocking action towards these receptors, carvedilol lowers blood pressure and reduces heart failure.
There are at present five reported structures containing some form of carvedilol (carv): two of them are different polymorphs of the carvedilol free base [(II) (Chen et al., 1998) and (III) (Yathirajan et al., 2007)], two others are phosphate salts of the protonated carvH+ cation [carvH+·H2PO4-·0.5H2O, (IV) (Chernyshev et al., 2009), and carvH+·H2PO4-·C3H8O, (V) (Chernyshev et al., 20105)], and the fifth structure is a copper complex with carvedilol acting as a mono-deprotonated ligand {[Cu(carv)Cl(MeOH)]2·4MeOH, (VI); Zoroddu et al., 2003}. We report here a hemihydrated form of the drug, namely 1-(9H-carbazol-4-yloxy)-3-{[2-(2-methoxyphenoxy)ethyl]amino}propan-2-ol hemihydrate, (I), where two independent carvedilol molecules (labelled as A and B) share a single water molecule, itself a key component in the crystal structure organization, as discussed below.
The compound crystallizes as a racemate in the centrosymmetric space group P21/n (Fig. 1). The two independent carvedilol molecules have internal distances and angles quite similar to each other and to those of the previously reported examples. Similarities include the presence in both molecules of an O atom (O1) disordered over two sites on the host C atom (C21), with one configuration clearly dominant (see Refinement section for details).
In spite of their metric similarities, the conformations of molecules A and B in (I) are quite different, even though both central chains are essentially planar and the lateral aromatic side groups are structurally similar. The differences arise at the ends of the central chain, where the carbazole system and the MeOC6H4– groups are attached; it is here that the torsion angles defining the three-dimensional molecular structure show significant differences (Table 2, entries 1–2). Fig. 2(a) presents a combined view of both molecules after a least-squares fit of their `skeletal spine' (atoms C11–C23); the way in which the side wings depart from each other is apparent.
But this behaviour is not exclusive to molecules A and B in (I); a very similar behaviour can be observed in the remaining noncoordinated carvedilol molecules/ions [(II)–(V)] mentioned above: all of them present a rather planar aliphatic central chain, as shown by the torsion angles involving the constituent atoms (Table 1, entries 3–5), differing by just a few degrees from a perfect antiperiplanar local conformation [with the sole exception of C11—C21—C31—N1 for compound (V)]. This can be seen in Fig 2b, where a similar fit as in Fig. 2a is shown, but performed on all six molecular units. Fig. 2a clearly shows the variety of conformations attainable through the combination of the rather low energy barrier to rotation in the aliphatic chain and the highly interactive character of both aromatic ends (the carbazole group, via its donor N92—H92 group, and the MeOC6H4– unit through its O1 acceptor). In the case of (I), this latter tendency is enhanced by the presence of a highly active water molecule, which is determinant for the final packing of the structure.
Table 2 presents numerical values for the most significant hydrogen bonds in the structure and Fig. 1 displays all those in which O1W takes part. The molecule acts as a double donor–double acceptor (Table 2, entries 1–2 and 3–4, respectively). The water molecule is attached to carvedilol molecule A through hydrogen bonds 1 and 2, giving rise to an R22(10) ring (Bernstein et al., 1995). The third hydrogen bond links independent carvedilol molecules A and B into a strongly bound 2(carv)·H2O unit. Finally, the remaining hydrogen bond accepted by O1W (Table 2, entry 4, and Fig. 1) links these three-component units into broad ribbons parallel to [101] (Fig. 3).
There are two further conventional hydrogen bonds in the structure of (I) (Table 2, entries 5–6), which link ribbons together along [010] and define broad planes paralell to (101). Strikingly, neither of the N1A—H1AN nor N92B—H92BN groups are involved in hydrogen-bonding interactions: interplanar linkage is achieved through much weaker C—H···N/O contacts and no significant π–π interactions could be detected in the structure. The resulting packing scheme is schematicaly depicted in Fig. 3, where some of these planes (in different shading) are seen down b, with their projected image running along [101].
As a final remark about which are the leading sites for hydrogen bonding in carvedilol, in unsolvated polymorphs (II) and (III) there are two direct contacts joining adjacent molecules with each other and giving rise to characteristic two-dimensional structures. These interactions, of the hydroxy–amine O—H···N and carbazole–methoxy N—H···O types, are quite similar in both unsolvated structures, in spite of circumstancial differences in the unit cell, the atomic conformation and the packing disposition, as shown in Yathirajan et al. (2007).
In the present hemihydrated form (I), there are instead four hydrogen bonds connecting adjacent A and B molecules, but this is a deceiving difference: a closer look shows that, in fact, the single hydration water molecule can be considered as only an intermediate step in a more complex set-up of the same type of interactions. The scheme below shows the way in which this is achieved, and how the same bonding scheme can be envisioned by just thinking of the interactions involving O1W—H1WA/B as `transparent'. Thus, the water molecule would not play any genuine interacting role but `propagating' instead the leading interactions, generated by the same participants as in (II) and (III). This is only one of the many roles that hydration water molecules can play in crystal structures; a very detailed analysis (for the particular case of inorganic/geological compounds, but readily extendable to any general case) can be found in Hawthorne (1992).
