title: N-Methyl-1-oxoisoindoline-2-carboxamide monohydrate.
abstract: The title compound, C(10)H(10)N(2)O(2)·H(2)O, is dimerized by inversion-related inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonding. There is an intra-molecular N-H⋯O bond, resulting in a six-membered ring. Each dimer inter-acts with other dimers through hydrogen bonding with water mol-ecules. The water mol-ecules are linked to each other in a stair-like chain, thus generating two-dimensional polymeric strips. The dimers are also linked to each other through inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonding. There are π-π inter-actions between the aromatic and heterocyclic five-membered rings [centroid-centroid distance 3.8360 (12) Å]. C-H⋯π inter-actions also exist between CH(2) groups and aromatic rings.
