Abstract: This article presents synthesis of novel Schiff base ligand from N-salicylidene-p-chloroaniline and its Co (II) complex in ratio 1:2 metal-ligands. The complex formed was subjected to elemental analysis and spectroscopic studies (ultraviolet spectroscopy and infra-red spectroscopy) alongside melting point evaluation. From the infrared spectroscopy of the complex, an octahedral arrangement of the ligand around cobalt atom is proposed. The complex formed showed the stability at an ambient condition and it was soluble in most organic solvents. Keywords: Schiff base, Salicylaldehyde, Ligand, Metal complex.
