A novel proton transfer compound (HMeABT)(+)(HDPC)(-)center dot H2O (1) obtained from 2-amino-6-methylbenzothiazole (MeABT) and dipicolinic acid (H2DPC) and its Fe(III), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes (2-6) have been prepared and characterized by elemental, spectral (H-1 NMR, IR and UV-Vis) and thermal analyses, magnetic measurement and molar conductivity. Additionally, single crystal X-ray diffraction techniques were applied to all complexes.
