The Schiff base ligand trans-N,N′-bis[2-pyridinecarboxylidene] cyclohexane-1,2-diamine (L) was synthesized. This ligand when stirred with 1 equiv of MCl2.xH2O (M = Cu, Co, Zn) in ethanol, undergoes partial hydrolysis of the imino bond and the result tridentate ligand (L') and immediately forms the complexes with N3 coordination sphere. The reactions of L with MCl2.xH2O (M = Cu, Co, Zn) in THF give complexes [ML]Cl2. The ligand (L), complexes [M(L')Cl]Cl and [ML]Cl2 were characterized by elemental analysis, UV-Vis, FT-IR, 1H NMR, GC/MS and luminescence properties. The 1H NMR spectra of the ligand and its diamagnetic complexes were recorded in CDCl3 and DMSO solvents, respectively. Obtained data confirm that the donor atoms N in ligand coordinated to the metal ions. The luminescence studies show ligands and their complexes display intraligand (π- π
