N'-(5-Bromo-2-hydroxy-benzyl-idene)-3,4,5-trihydroxy-benzohydrazide dihydrate

The title compound, C(14)H(11)BrN(2)O(5)·2H(2)O, crystallizes as hydrogen-bonded sheets. The 2-hydr-oxy group on the benzyl-idene group forms an intra-molecular hydrogen bond to the N atom of the C=N double bond. The amino N atom is a hydrogen-bond donor to a water mol-ecule. The hydr-oxy group on the benzohydrazide group is a hydrogen-bond donor to one acceptor site, whereas each water mol-ecule is a hydrogen-bond donor to two acceptor sites.
