(1R*,2S*)-N,N′-Bis[(E)-1H-pyrrol-2-ylmethylidene]cyclohexane-1,2-diamine monohydrate

The title compound, C16H20N4·H2O, was synthesized from cis-1,2-diaminocyclohexane (a racemic mixture of the (1R,2S) and (1S,2R) enantiomers). The compound crystallized with two molecules (A and B) in the asymmetric unit with a single water solvent molecule per Schiff base molecule. Molecules A and B have similar conformations as illustrated by the least-squares-fit with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.242 Å. The molecules within the asymmetric unit are bridged by hydrogen bonds to the two water molecules, resulting in a heterotetramer. The water molecule acts as both a hydrogen-bond donor and acceptor. The pyrrole-imine units are not co-planar, making an angle of 73.9 (3)° and 76.9 (3)° in molecules A and B, respectively.
