Crystal structure of N-hy-droxy-quinoline-2-carboxamide monohydrate.

The title compound, C10H8N2O2·H2O, consists of an N-hy-droxy-quinoline-2-carboxamide mol-ecule in the keto tautomeric form and a water mol-ecule connected through an O-H⋯O hydrogen bond. The N-hy-droxy-quinoline-2-carboxamide mol-ecule has a nearly planar structure [maximum deviation = 0.062 (1) Å] and only the hy-droxy H atom deviates significantly from the mol-ecule plane. In the crystal, π-π stacking between the aromatic rings [inter-centroid distance = 3.887 (1) Å] and inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds organize the crystal components into columns extending along the b-axis direction.
