Abstract:
In the title compound, C12H11N3O3·2H2O, the dihedral angle formed by the planes of the pyridine and the furan rings of the organic carbohydrazide mol-ecule is 4.66 (7)°. In the crystal, these mol-ecules form stacks along the b-axis direction, neighbouring mol-ecules within each stack being related by inversion and the shortest distance between the centroids of the pyridine and furan rings being 3.714 (1) Å. Mol-ecules from neighboring stacks are linked by pairs of N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The water mol-ecules fill the channels between the stacks being linked by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into helices along [010]. Besides this, water mol-ecules are involved in O-H⋯N and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds with the carbohydrazide mol-ecules, thus forming a three-dimensional network, augmented by weak C-H⋯O interactions.

Structure of Conjugated Dienes
Conjugated dienes are compounds characterized by the presence of alternating double and single bonds. In a conjugated system like 1,3-butadiene, the unhybridized 2p orbital on each carbon overlaps continuously, allowing the π electrons to be delocalized across the entire molecule. In contrast, this type of overlap does not occur in cumulated and isolated dienes, such as 2,3-pentadiene and 1,4-pentadiene, respectively. Instead, the π electrons remain localized between the...
Nomenclature of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives: Amides and Nitriles
The IUPAC and common names of amides are derived from the parent carboxylic acid, by replacing the suffix “oic acid” and “ic acid,” respectively, with “amide.” In the following example, the IUPAC name ethanamide is derived from ethanoic acid, and the common name, acetamide, is obtained from acetic acid.
