Synthesis of some new mixed-ligand complexes of chromium(m) involving quadridentate Schiff bases N,N'-(2-hydroxy)propylenebis{(2-imino-3-oximino)- butane} and N,N'-(2-hydroxy)propylenebis(acetylacetoneimine) and bidentate Schiff base N,N'-propylenebis(benzaldimine)

Department of Chemistry, University of Kalyani, Kalyani-741 235, India Manuscript received 5 December 2000, revised 28 February 2001, accepted 4 August 2001 Some mixed-ligand complexes of chromium(III) have been synthesized by the reactions of different chromium salts with quadridentate Schiff bases N,N'-(2-hydroxy)propylenebis((2-imino-3-oximino)butane} and N,N'-(2-hydroxy)propylenebis­(acetylacetoneimine) and a bidentate Schiff base N,N'-propylenebis(benzaldimine) under varied reaction conditions. The ste­reochemistry of the complexes has been discussed
