A newly synthesized ligand derived from 2‐amino thiophenol and benzoic anhydride and its Co(II), Cd(II), La(III) (in bulk and nano size), and Gd(III) complexes was investigated and characterized. The maximum elimination capacity of the newly synthesized ligand was investigated towards the removal of Co(II), Cd(II), La(III), and Gd(III) ions from aqueous solutions. It was found that the ligand has the best removal ability for Cd(II) metal of 98.66% at a concentration of 0.03 mg/L.
