In the crystal, two molecules of 2,6-bis[(2-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)iminomethyl]pyridine dimerize via hydrogen bonding to a water molecule, which lies on a twofold axis. There are also intramolecular phenol每imine hydrogen bonds. The dimers are further linked via 羽每羽 (phenyl每pyridine) [centroid每centroid distance = 3.707 (2) ] and 羽每羽 edge-to-edge [3.392 (2) ] interactions. The dihedral angles between the central ring and the two pendant rings are 11.46 (8) and 2.06 (8)∼ while the pendant rings make a dihedral angle of 10.14 (8)∼. %U http://scripts.iucr.org/cgi-bin/paper?S1600536811045399
