A series of mixed ligand complexes of Fe (III) of the type [Fe(L)2L'], (where HL=2-hydroxypropiophenone and HL'= pentane-2,4-dione, 1-phenyl butane-1,3-dione or 1,3-diphenyl propane1,3-dione) have been synthesized by the condensation reaction of iron(III) chloride with a mixture of two different ligands in 1:2:1molar ratios. Physicochemical and spectroscopic methods were used to determine mode of bonding and coordination geometry of newly Synthesized mixed ligand complexes of Fe(III). Room temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements revealed paramagnetic nature of the complexes.
