The complexes of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cr(III), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) with the chelating ligand derived from [1-(5-chloro-2-hydroxyphenyl)ethanone] and 2-chloropyridine-3-carboxamide have been synthesized. The chelates have been characterized on the basis of elemental analyses, IR, 1HNMR, magnetic moment, electronic spectral data.The solid - state electrical conductivity has been measured over 40–130°C-temperature range and all the compounds showed semiconducting behavior as their conductivity increases with increase in temperature. The complexes are colored and stable in air at room temperature. The structure of the ligands were elucidated by spectral studies which indicate the presence of two or three coordinating groups in ligands which may be oxygen atom of the phenolic -OH group, the nitrogen atom of the azomethine (C=N) group and the oxygen atom of the carbonyl group.

chloropyridine-3-carboxamide, d c electrical conductivity, Azomethine linkage.
