This article describes the synthesis and X-ray crystal structure analysis of 3-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl) phenol (I) and 4-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)phenol (II), crystallized in centrosymmetric triclinic and orthorhombic space groups respectively. The packing in the unit cell of these two positional isomers are different resulting difference in various types of intermolecular interactions (C-H center dot center dot center dot S, O-H center dot center dot center dot O-w and O-H center dot center dot center dot N) connect the molecules into 2D frameworks. Due to presence of lattice water in compound (I), H-bonding interactions are strong and melting point of (I) is comparatively higher than (II). The DFT optimized molecular geometries in (I) and (II) agree closely with those obtained from crystallographic studies.
