1-(2-Bromobenzoyl)-6,7-(methylene-dioxy)isoquinoline.

In the title mol-ecule, C(17)H(10)BrNO(3), the mean planes of tricycle and bromo-phenyl fragments form a dihedral angle of 75.5 (1)°. In the crystal, π-π inter-actions [centroid-centroid distances = 3.556 (2) and 3.898 (8) Å] between the isoquinoline systems link mol-ecules into stacks parallel to the a axis. The crystal packing also exibits weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

Crystal structure of bis(2-(2-thiazolylazo)-4-methylphenol)cobalt(III)chloride.

The reaction between CoCl2 x 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.
