Abstract

Polynuclear complexes of chromium (III) ions using β –diketone and either oxalic, succinic, or nitrite as bridging ligand have been synthesized successfully. The complexes formed binuclear compounds linked through the bridging ligand (nitrite, succinate or oxalate) and they were insoluble in all the tested solvents, with high decomposition temperature (>250 oC). The elemental analysis was conducted and the observed values were in agreement with theoretical values.
