Hydro­gen bonding and C—H⋯O interactions in 3‐(3‐amino­phthal­imido)phthalic acid dihydrate

The title compound, C₁₆H₁₀N₂O₆·2H₂O, crystallized in the centrosymmetric triclinic space group P with one organic mol­ecule and two water mol­ecules as the asymmetric unit. Eight intermolecular hydrogen bonds have donor?acceptor distances in the range 2.602 (2)–3.289 (2) Å, with angles in the range 137 (2)–177 (2)°. These generate a three‐dimensional hydrogen‐bond network. There is a single intramolecular hydrogen bond. There are six significant intermolecular C—H?O interactions with H?O distances in the range 2.39–2.74 Å, and C—H?O angles in the range 131–157°.
