In the title hydrated Schiff base, C13H12N4O3·H2O, the dihedral angle between the aromatic rings is 5.06 (11)° and an intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bond closes an S(6) ring. In the crystal, Ow-H⋯O and Ow-H⋯N (w = water) hydrogen bonds link the components into centrosymmetric tetra-mers (two Schiff bases and two water mol-ecules). Longer N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the tetra-mers into [010] chains. A weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bond and aromatic π-π stacking between the pyrazine and phenyl rings [centroid-centroid separations = 3.604 (2) and 3.715 (2) Å] are also observed.
Keywords: Schiff base; acylhydrazone ligand; crystal structure; hydrogen bonding.
