In present studies a new series of twenty four complexes of seven and ten coordinated compounds derived from 4[Ncinnamalidene)amino]antipyrine semicarbazone (CAAPS) as primary ligand and diphenyl sulfoxide (DPSO) as secondary ligand has been reported. All the complexes have the general composition LnX 3 .n(CAAPS).DPSO (Ln = La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb, Dy or Ho, X = NCS or ClO 4 , n = 2, X = NO 3 , n = 1). The compounds have been characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductance, magnetic susceptibility, infrared and electronic spectra. Thermal characteristics were also reported. Based on the data appropriate structures are assigned for these complexes.
