(E)-3,4,5-Trimethoxy-N'-[(6-methoxy-4-oxo-4H-chromen-3-yl)methylidene]benzohydrazide monohydrate

In the title chromone-tethered benzohydrazide derivative, C21H20N2O7 center dot H2O, the atoms of the 4H-chromen-4-one segment are essentially coplanar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0073 angstrom) with the largest deviation from the mean plane [0.012 (3) angstrom] being found for the benzene C atom. The dihedral angles between the chromone segment and the hydrazide plane and between the chromone segment and the benzene ring of the trimethoxybenzene unit are 24.67 (9) and 41.28 (8) angstrom, respectively. The molecule is connected to the solvent water molecule by O-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds and weak C-H center dot center dot center dot O interactions. Additional N-H center dot center dot center dot O interactions are observed and together they link the molecules into chains forming a two-dimensional network along (011).
