The title merocyanine-type mol-ecule, C(21)H(22)N(2)O(5)·2H(2)O, crystallizes in a zwitterionic form and has an E configuration at the styryl C=C bond. The styryl part of the mol-ecule and the indolium ring are slightly twisted and form a dihedral angle of 13.4 (1)°. The 1.274 (3) Å C-O bond length in the phenolate fragment is the longest among similar mol-ecules. Hydrogen bonds between solvent water mol-ecules, two hydroxyl groups and the phenolate O atom dictate the packing arrangement of mol- ...[more]
