Reactions of MX₂ (M = Co or Ni, X = Cl^-, Br^-, I^-, NO^-₃, NCS^-, or ClO^-₄) with 4-[N-(4-dimethylaminobenzylidene)-amino]antipyrine (DABAAP) yielded complexes of the type [M(DABAAP)₂X₂] or [M(DABAAP)₃](ClO₄)₂. The IR spectra of these complexes indicate that the ligand is a neutral bidentate ligand coordinating through the azomethine nitrogen and carbonyl oxygen. All the complexes are six-coordinated according the data of magnetic and electronic spectral measurements.
