Phenazine–naphthalene-1,5-diamine–water (1/1/2)

Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C12H8N2·C10H10N2·2H2O, contains one half-mol­ecule of phenazine, one half-mol­ecule of naphthalene-1,5-diamine and one water mol­ecule. The phenazine and naphthalene-1,5-diamine mol­ecules are located on inversion centers. The water mol­ecules serve as bridges between the naphthalene-1,5-diamine mol­ecules and also between the naphthalene-1,5-diamine and phenazine mol­ecules. The naphthalene-1,5-diamine and water mol­ecules are connected via N—H⋯O and O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming a T4(2) motif. They are arranged into a two-dimensional polymeric structure parallel to (10) in which the water mol­ecule is a single donor and a double acceptor, whereas the amino group is a double donor and a single acceptor in the hydrogen bonding. These two-dimensional assemblies alternate with the layers of phenazine mol­ecules arranged into a herringbone motif. Each phenazine mol­ecule is hydrogen bonded to two water mol­ecules and thus a three-dimensional framework of hydrogen-bonded mol­ecules is generated.
