Abstract Aromatic chromophores; pyrene, phenanthrene, anthracene, naphtalene and benzene-tethered Schiff base ligands and their iron (III)/chromium (III) Salen and Saloph capped complexes have been synthesized. Compounds have been characterized by means of FT-IR Spectroscopy, 1 H-NMR Spectroscopy, Magnetic Susceptibility, Elementel Analsis, TG/DTA measurements. Their fluorescence and absorbance properties have been ...
