Metal complex of pioglitazone hydrochloride (PLZ) drug with Ni(II) ion is synthesized and characterized using analytical data, molar conductance, IR, UV-Vis, magnetic, mass spectral and XRD studies. From the analytical data, the complex is proposed to have general formula [(C 19 H 19 N 2 O 3 S)+ 2 Ni]2Cl-. The conductometric titration using monovariation method reveals that complex is L 2 M typ...
