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.
