Complexes of the types MLX₂, ML₂X_2, ML₄X₂, [M=Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(Il), Fe(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), Hg(II) ; L=6-methyl-2-amino benzothiazole ; X = I, NCS, OAc] and mixed ligand complexes of the general formula ML₂L'₂X₂ [M=Zn (II), Cd(II), Hg(II) ; L'=2-methyl benzimidazole ; X =CI, I, Br, NCS] have been prepared and characterised on the basis of analytical, magnetic moment, molar conductance, electronic and ir spectral data. The mixed ligand complexes have six coordinated octa­hedral configuration.
