title: (Z)-5-[(5-Methyl-1H-imidazol-4-yl)methylidene]-2-sulfanylidene-1,3-thiazolidin-4-one monohydrate: a three-dimensional hydrogen-bonded framework structure.
abstract: The non-H atoms in the organic component of the title compound, C(8)H(7)N(3)OS(2)·H(2)O, are almost coplanar, as the dihedral angle between the two ring planes is only 1.8 (2)°; there is a wide C-C-C angle of 127.8 (3)° at the methine C atom linking the two rings. The molecular components are linked into a three-dimensional framework structure by two-centre hydrogen bonds of N-H···O and O-H···N types, together with a three-centre O-H···(N,S) system. Comparisons are made with some (Z)-5-arylmethylidene-2-sulfanylidene-1,3-thiazolidin-4-ones.
