title: Spectral and magnetic studies on manganese(II), cobalt(II) and nickel(II) complexes with Schiff bases.
abstract: Mn(II), Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes of 2-methylcyclohexanone thiosemicarbazone(MCHTSC L(1)) and 2-methylcyclohexanone-(4)N-methyl-3-thiosemicarbazone (MCHMTSC L(2)), general composition [M(L)(2)X(2)] (where M = Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), L = L(1) or L(2) and X = Cl(-), NO(3)(-), and [(1/2)SO(4)(2-)) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, magnetic susceptibility measurements, UV-vis, IR, EPR, and mass spectral studies. Various physico-chemical techniques suggest an octahedral geometry for all the complexes.
