Abstract
Metal complexes of the type ML2Cl2 and M′2L2Cl6 where M = Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II), M′ = Ru(III) or Rh(III) and L = 2-(1-indazolyl)benzothiazole have been prepared and characterized. The IR spectra reveal that the ligand is bidentate coordinating through the N-atoms of both the indazole and benzothiazole groups. Magnetic susceptibility measurements and the electronic spectral data suggest a six-coordinated octahedral structures for these complexes.
