In the Schiff base mol-ecule of the title compound, C(22)H(20)N(4)O(2)·C(3)H(7)NO·2H(2)O, the cyclo-hexane ring adopts a chair conformation with the two imine groups linked at the equatorial positions. The two indolin-2-one ring systems make a dihedral angle of 65.63 (5)°. In the crystal, the Schiff base mol-ecules are connected through bifurcated N-H⋯(O,N) hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers. The water molecules link the dimers and the dimethylformamide molecules via O-H⋯O, O-H⋯N and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Together with C-H⋯π and π-π [centroid-centroid distance = 3.3889 (10) Å] inter-actions a three-dimensional supra-molecular structure is formed.
