Metal chelates ML 2 (M = Co 2+ , Ni 2+ , Cu 2+ , Cd 2+ ) are synthesized from azomethin derivative of amino-3-methyl-benzimidazoline-2-thion and 2-N -tosylaminobenzaldehyde (HL) and their compositions and structures are determined from the electronic mass spectrometry, IR and electronic spectroscopy and magnetochemistry data.
