Crystal Structure of Bis(2-(2-thiazolylazo)-4-methylphenol)cobalt(III)chloride

Abstract

The reaction between CoCl₂·6H₂O and 2-1-(2-thiazolylazo)-p-cresol (TAC) in acetone resulted in six coordinated cobalt(III) complex, [Co(TAC)₂]Cl₃. Two TAC ligands coordinate with cobalt ion forming four five membered chelate rings. The cobalt ion is octahedrally coordinated by a phenolic oxygen, azo nitrogen and nitrogen in thiazole rings. Three chloride ions are disordered.
