7-Chloro-4-[(E)-2-(4-methoxy­benzyl­idene)hydrazin-1-yl]quinoline monohydrate

The organic mol­ecule in the title hydrate, C(17)H(14)ClN(3)O·H(2)O, has a small but significant twist from planarity, as seen in the dihedral angle of 12.10 (17)° between the quinoline and benzene rings. The conformation about the C=N bond is E. Chains along the b axis are formed in the crystal structure aided by water–quinoline O—H⋯N (× 2) and hydrazone–water N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Layers of these chains stack along the a axis via C—H⋯π and π–π inter­actions [ring centroid–ring centroid distance = 3.674 (2) Å]. C—H⋯O inter­actions are also present.
