Abstract
Chromium(III) complexes of the compositions [Cr(L)(HL)Cl]2 C12 [HL = 2-acetylthiophene-2-furoylhydrazone (Hatfh), 2-acetylfuran -2-furoylhydrnzone (Hatfh), 2-acetylpyridine-2-furoylhydrazone-(Hapfh), o-hydroxyacetophenone-2-furoylhydrazone (H2hafh)], Cr2(L)3(OH)3(H2o)2 [HL = Hatfh, Haffh, Hapfhl and [Cr(L)3]2 [HL = H2hafh)] have been prepared and characterized on the basis of elemental analyses, molar conductance, magnetic susceptibility and IR spectral studies. Electronic and emission spectra show a decrease in the interelectronic repulsion while emission spectra are indicative of the absence of centro-symmetry around Cr3+
