title: 3,5-Bis(4-methoxy-phen-yl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole monohydrate.
abstract: In the title compound, C(16)H(15)N(3)O(2)·H(2)O, the two benzene rings and the triazole ring lie almost in the same plane, the triazole ring forming dihedral angles of 5.07 (9) and 5.80 (8)° with the benzene rings. In the crystal, there are three relatively strong inter-molecular O-H⋯N and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which lead to the formation of a one-dimensional double chain running parallel to the a axis. Weak π-π inter-actions between the benzene rings of neighboring chains with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.893 (4) Å result in the formation of layers parallel to the ac plane.
