The compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, electrochemical and various spectroscopic studies like IR, UV-Visible, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The prepared compounds were screened for antibacterial activity against Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria. Copyright@ International Science Community Association
