3,5-Dinitro-N-(1,3-thia-zol-2-yl)benzamide monohydrate.

In the title compound, C(10)H(6)N(4)O(5)S·H(2)O, the thia-zole ring is twisted at a dihedral angle of 25.87 (7)° with respect to the benzene ring. The water mol-ecule is linked with the benzamide mol-ecules via N-H⋯O, O-H⋯N and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. In the crystal, π-π stacking is observed between nearly parallel [dihedral angle = 7.02 (7)°] thia-zole and benzene rings of adjacent mol-ecules, the centroid-centroid distances being 3.7107 (9) and 3.7158 (9) Å, respectively.
