The coupling of diazotized 2-aminothiazole and 2-aminobenzo-thiazole with cyclohexane-1,3-dione yielded a new type of tridentate ligand systems (HL). Analytical, IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and mass spectral data indicate the existence of the compounds in the intramolecularly hydrogen bonded azo-enol tautomeric form. Monobasic tridentate coordination of the compounds in their [CuL(OAc)] and [ML2] complexes [M = Ni(II) and Zn(II)] has been established on the basis of analytical and spectral data. The Zn(II) chelates are diamagnetic while Cu(II) and Ni(II) complexes showed normal paramagnetic moment.
