N′-[(E)-(3-Fluoro­pyridin-2-yl)methyl­idene]benzohydrazide monohydrate

The title compound, C(13)H(10)FN(3)O·H(2)O, exists in the E conformation with respect to the azomethane C=N double bond. The mol­ecule is close to planar with a maximum deviation of 0.286 (2) Å. The pyridine ring is essentially coplanar with the central C(= O)N(2)C unit [dihedral angle = 2.02 (3)°] and the phenyl ring exhibits a dihedral angle of 14.41 (10)° with respect to the central unit. The crystal structure features O—H⋯N, N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen-bond inter­actions between the solvent water and the benzohydrazide mol­ecules, as well as C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and C—F⋯π [3.0833 (18) Å] inter­actions.
