A bidentate oxygen/ nitrogen containing Schiff base ligand 2-acetyl naptho [2,1-b] furan hydrazone (ANFH) and their Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes have been synthsized and characterized by molar mass, elemental analyses, spectroscopic  (IR and electronic), molar conductivity and magnetic susceptibility measurements at the room temperature. On the basis of above studies it is proposes that ligand is suggested to acts in a bidentate manner and coordination proposes through azomethine nitrogen and nitrogen atom of furan ring. The remaining coordination centre are satisfied by negataive ions such as Cl–,  Br–, I– and NO3– . The Co(II), Ni(II) complexes have octahedral geometry where as Cu(II) complexes were proposed distorted octahedral geometry.
