Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of 2,4-diamino-6-[(1Z,3E)-1-cyano-2,4-diphenylpenta-1,3-dien-1-yl]pyridine-3,5-dicarbonitrile monohydrate

Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C25H18N6·H2O, comproses two molecules (I and II), together with a water molecule. The terminal phenyl groups attached to the methyl groups of the molecules I and II do not overlap completely, but are approximately perpendicular. In the crystal, the molecules are connected by N—H...N, C—H...N, O—H...N and N—H...O hydrogen bonds with each other directly and through water molecules, forming layers parallel to the (001) plane. C—H...π interactions between these layers ensure the cohesion of the crystal structure. A Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that H...H (39.1% for molecule I; 40.0% for molecule II), C...H/H...C (26.6% for molecule I and 25.8% for molecule II) and N...H/H...N (24.3% for molecules I and II) interactions are the most important contributors to the crystal packing.
