Abstract. 2-Hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone-N-substituted thiosemicarba-zones were introduced to form [Co(HMBP4Ph-2H)(H2O)] and [Co(HMBPpip-H)2(H2O)2]. The complexes were identified by elemental analyses, molar conductance, magnetic moment, IR and UV-Vis spectral studies. The molecular parameters of the ligands and their Co(II) complexes were calculated; [Co(HMBP4Ph-2H)(H2O)] is found to be irregular tetrahedron while [Co(HMBPpip-H)2(H2O)2] is distorted octahedron. The ligands lost the N2 proton or the N2 and OH protons on their reactions. The deprotonation of the OH group is found more faster than the SH. [Co(HMBP4Ph-2H)(H2O)] and [Co(HMBPpip-H)2(H2O)2] measured magnetic moments for the square-planar and octahedral configurations, respectively; this supported by the electronic spectra in the solid and DMF solution. It was found that the substitutent has a noticeable effect on the geometry of the complex. The ligand field parameters (10Dq, B and β) were calculated for the octahedral complex.

KEY WORDS: Complexes; 2-Hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone-N-substituted thiosemi-carbazones; Magnetic moments.
