Synthesis, characterization and antibacterial studies of dichlorodiazadienes

Abstract

The synthesis of dichlorodiazadienes containing nitro and methyl groups was performed starting from phenylhydrazones. The role of functional groups in the crystal design was investigated by X-ray crystallographic analysis. Pnicogen (N...Cl), halogen (Cl...O) and halogen-halogen(Cl...Cl) bonds were found in the synthesized compounds. Antibacterial studies were performed against five bacterial strains and potent antibacterial activity was detected against A.baumanii BDU32 and S.aureus BDU23.
