2,4-Dibromo-6-[(quinolin-8-yl-amino)-methyl-idene]cyclo-hexa-2,4-dien-1-one monohydrate.

In the title compound, C(16)H(10)Br(2)N(2)O·H(2)O, bifurcated intra-molecular N-H⋯(N,O) hydrogen bonding defines the essential planarity of the main mol-ecule: the dihedral angle between the quinoline and benzene rings is 7.53†(8)°. Inter-molecular O-H⋯O and weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds consolidate the crystal packing, which exhibits π-π inter-actions with a distance of 3.588†(1)†à between the centroids of the aromatic rings and short Br⋯Br contacts of 3.5757†(6)†à .
