Abstract: Two new aroyl hydrazones, N-2- hydroxybenzaldehyde-isonicotinoylhydrazones (HBIH=H2L 1 ) and N-2-hydroxy-4-methylbenzaldehyde-isonicotinoyl hydrazone (HMIH= H2L 2 ) and its Co (II), Ni (II), and Cu (II) complexes have been prepared. The ligands are characterized by elemental analysis, infrared, electronic and NMR spectral studies, while the structure of complexes has been investigated by using elemental analysis, magnetic susceptibility, molar conductance, thermal and spectral (IR, UV, EPR) measurements. IR and NMR spectra indicate that the ligand behave as dibasic tridentate ligand and coordinates to the metal ion through ketonic oxygen, azomethine nitrogen, and phenolic oxygen atoms by double deprotonation of ligand, both the phenolic and enolic protons. The magnetic and spectral data indicate octahedral geometry for Co (II) and Ni (II) complexes while the square planer geometry for Cu (II) complex.
