Department of Chemistry J. N. V. University, Jodhpur-342 006, India Manuscript received 20 August 2002, revised 25 March 2003, accepted 16 April 2003 Novel polystyrene supported coordination compounds have been synthesized by the reaction of metal salt/metal complex with the polystyrene supported Schiff base (PS-LH) (obtained by the reaction of chloromethylated polystyrene, coumarin-3-car­boxylic acid and ethanol amine). The complexes were characterized by elemental analyses, IR, electronic, ESR spectral and magnetic susceptibility measurements
