Debentures function more or less like bonds. One can also term debentures as a variant of bonds. Debentures are issued by a company which offers to pay interest in lieu of the money borrowed for a pre-specified period. In essence, it represents a loan taken by the issuer who pays an agreed rate of interest throughout the life of the instrument and repays the principal normally, unless otherwise agreed, on maturity. Bonds on the other hand are more secured than debenture. As a debenture holder, you provide unsecured loan (most of the times debentures are unsecured in nature) to the company. Debentures carry a higher rate of interest as the company does not offer any collateral to you for your money. For this reason bond holders receive a lower rate of interest but are more secure in nature.
