The synthesis and characterization of Co(II) Schiff base complex derived from the reaction of [(4oxo-4H-chromen-3-yl) methylene] benzohydrazide and CoCl2 has been recorded . The ligand was tridentate, coordinating to the central metal ion through nitrogen atom of azomethine group, oxygen atom of keto group of γ-pyrone ring and oxygen atom of hydrazoic group of benzoyl hydrazine. The result of the spectral studies all supported the formation of the complex. From the molar conductance experiment, the conductance values that fell in the range of 102-148 Ω - 1 cm 2 mol -1 indicates that the complex is a 2:1 electrolyte. More so, IR spectrum gave bands at 1679 cm -1 , characteristic of the stretching vibration of (C=O) which shifted to lower region by 33-53 cm -1 compared to the value obtained from the spectrum of the ligand. The band at 1617 cm -1 due to the stretching vibration of the azomethine (C=N) group also shifted to lower region by 27-45 cm -1 compaed to the value obtained from the spectrum of the ligand, indicating the formation of the complex. A magnetic moment of 4.95B.M was obtained which is characteristic of an octahedral Co(II) complex since it fell within 4.6-5.2 BM that is the expected range for the geometry.
