title: N'-[(Z)-4-Methyl-benzyl-idene]-4-nitro-benzohydrazide monohydrate.
abstract: In the title compound, C(15)H(13)N(3)O(3)·H(2)O, the two benzene rings form a dihedral angle of 2.03 (2)°. In the crystal structure, adjacent hydrazide mol-ecules are linked into dimers by water mol-ecules; these dimers are then stacked along the b axis. Inter-molecular O-H⋯O, O-H⋯N and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and a π-π stacking inter-action between the nitro-benzene and tolyl rings with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.8208 (3) Å are observed. There is also a short O⋯N contact [2.6824 (7) Å].
