A Note on Finite Metabelian Groups of Wielandt Length Two

The class of groups of Wielandt length one has been extensively studied and recently the class of groups of Wielandt length two has been studied, in particular nilpotent groups of odd order by E.A. Ormerod and supersoluble groups of order prime to six by A. Ali. In this paper we consider metabelian groups of odd order and provide characterizations for those groups with nilpotent residual either a Hall subgroup or of prime power order.
