3,5-Bis(4-methoxyphenyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole monohydrate

Abstract

In the title compound, C 16 H 15 N 3 O 2 ·H 2 O, the two benzene rings and the triazole ring lie almost in the same plane, the triazole ring forming dihedral angles of 5.07 (9) and 5.80 (8)° with the benzene rings. In the crystal, there are three relatively strong intermolecular O—H...N and N—H...O hydrogen bonds, which lead to the formation of a one-dimensional double chain running parallel to the a axis. Weak π—π interactions between the benzene rings of neighboring chains with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.893 (4) Å result in the formation of layers parallel to the ac plane.
