434-436Complexes of the types [MLCl2H2O], [M'LCl] [M = Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Mn(II), Fe(II); M' = Cd(II), Hg(II), [M”L’Cl22H2O] and [M”L’CI] [M" = Co(II), Ni(Il), Cu(II), Fe(II), Mn(II); M'" = Cd(II), Hg(II); LH = schiff base of benzoin with 2-amino-5- phenyl-l , 3, 4-oxadiazole; L'H = schiff base of benzoin with 2-amino-5-(p-anisil)-1, 3, 4-oxadiazolel have been prepared. The Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Fe(II) and Mn(II) complexes are octahedral while Cd(II) and Hg(II) complexes are tetrahedral. Both the Schiff bases behave as tridentate ONN donors. The characterisation of the complexes has been done on the basis of analytical, conductance, magnetic susceptibility, molecular weight and IR, electronic, 1H NMR and ESR spectral data
