Abstract
In the title hydrated salt, C16H13ClN3+·Cl–·2H2O, a small twist is evident in the cation so that the chlorobenzene ring is not coplanar with the central hydrazinyl group [the N-C-C-C torsion angle = -4.8 (12)°]. The conformation about the imine N=C bond [1.284 (10) Å] is E. The components of the structure are connected into a three-dimensional architecture via O-HO, O-HCl and N-HCl hydrogen bonds. One water H atom is disposed over two sites of equal occupancy.Keywords: None Document Type: Research Article DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1107/S1600536812022660 Publication date: 1 de Janeiro de 2012
