In the title molecule, C15H9N3O2S, the central imidazo[2,1-b][1,3]benzothiazole heterotricyclic unit is essentially planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.021 Å). The terminal phenyl ring and nitro group are twisted by 9.06 (1) and 11.02 (4)°, respectively, from the mean plane of the heterotricycle. In the crystal, molecules are linked by π–π stacking interactions into columns along [100]; the interplanar distance between neighboring imidazo[2,1-b][1,3]benzothiazole planes within the columns is 3.370 (2) Å. Furthermore, the columns interact with each other by secondary SO [2.9922 (10) and 3.1988 (11) Å] interactions, forming a three-dimensional framework.

In the title molecule, C16H15BrN2S2, the central imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole fragment is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.012 Å), and the fused 5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobenzene ring adopts an unsymmetrical half-chair conformation. The dihedral angle between the imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole and benzene planes is 18.25 (4)°. The terminal methylsulfanyl substituent lies practically within the benzene plane [the dihedral angle between the corresponding planes is 7.20 (10)°] and is turned toward the C—Br bond. In the crystal, molecules form infinite chains along [100] via secondary BrN interactions [3.1861 (16) Å]. The chains are arranged at van der Waals distances.

The title compound, C15H14N2S, crystallizes with two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. The central imidazo[2,1-b][1,3]benzothiazole unit is planar (r.m.s. deviations of 0.010 and 0.008 Å for the two independent molecules). The fused tetrahydrohexane ring adopts a half-chair conformation. The phenyl substituent is twisted by 16.96 (13) and 22.89 (12)° relative to the central imidazo[2,1-b][1,3]benzothiazole unit in the two molecules. In the crystal, there are no significant intermolecular interactions present.
