Popis: In the crystal of the title compound, C18H14O10·2H2O, the arene rings of the biphenyl moiety are tilted at an angle of 24.3 (1)°, while the planes passing through the carboxyl groups are rotated at angles of 8.6 (1) and 7.7 (1)° out of the plane of the benzene ring to which they are attached. The crystal structure is essentially stabilized by O—H...O bonds. Here, the carboxyl groups of neighbouring host molecules are connected by cyclic R22(8) synthons, leading to the formation of a three-dimensional network. The water molecules in turn form helical supramolecular strands running in the direction of the crystallographic c-axis (chain-like water clusters). The second H atom of each water molecule provides a link to a methoxy O atom of the host molecule. A Hirshfeld surface analysis was performed to quantify the contributions of the different intermolecular interactions, indicating that the most important contributions to the crystal packing are from H...O/O...H (37.0%), H...H (26.3%), H...C/C...H (18.5%) and C...O/O...C (9.5%) interactions.
