Summary: | In the title compound, C12H12N6·4H2O, the two triazole rings adopt a cis configuration with a crystallographic twofold axis passing through the central benzene group. The benzene and triazole rings are almost coplanar with a dihedral angle of 5.5 (1)°. In the crystal, water molecules are joined together by OW—H...OW hydrogen bonds to form a one-dimensional zigzag chain. These water chains are further connected to the organic molecule, forming a three-dimensional network by intermolecular OW—H...N and N—H...OW hydrogen bonds. Moreover, π–π stacking interactions between triazole rings [centroid–centroid distances = 3.667 (1)–3.731 (1) Å] are observed. One of the water molecules shows one of the H atoms to be disordered over two positions.
