In this work a general method for analysis of the d-d transition energies is used to derive the angular overlap model (AOM) parameters of chromium(III) complexes with C2vsymmetry. It allows investigation of various complexes in solutions with low symmetries (cis-[MX2(LL)2], LL = bidentate ligand) and different π-bonding abilities of ligands. Successful application of method to the interpretation of the spectrum ofcis-[CrF2(en)2]+chromophore (en = ethylenediamine) in aqueous solution demonstrates the utility of this approach.
