Abstract

The title compound, C23H26N2O2. 2H(2)O, displays strong intramolecular N-H ... O [2.637(2) Angstrom] and intermolecular O-H ... O [2.763(4) and 2.842(3) Angstrom] hydrogen bonds within each salicylideneimine unit and water molecule. The Schiff base has a twofold axis passing through the central C atom and therefore adopts a cis conformation.
