4-Chloro-N′-[(Z)-4-nitro-benzyl-idene]benzohydrazide monohydrate

Abstract

In the title compound, C14H10ClN3O3·H2O, the benzohydrazide group is not planar and the mol-ecule exists in a cis configuration with respect to the methyl-idene unit. The dihedral angle between the two substituted benzene rings is 38.7 (3)°. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules are linked by O - H⋯O, O - H⋯N and N - H⋯O hydrogen bonds into a two-dimensional network parallel to the (100) plane. The crystal structure is further stabilized by weak C - H⋯O inter-actions.
