Abstract
Abstract Two new Schiff bases, N , N ′-(1,3-phenylenebis(methanylylidene))bis(4-bromoaniline) ( 1 ) and N , N ′-(1,3-phenylenebis(methanylylidene))bis(4-methoxyaniline) ( 2 ), have been synthesized by the reaction between isophthalaldehyde and appropriate aniline derivatives, and characterized by physico-chemical and spectroscopic methods. The structures of new compounds 1 and 2 have been characterized crystallographically. Moreover, structural optimization by DFT calculations have been performed and compared with the experimental data. The compounds were also screened for in vitro antibacterial activities against four human pathogenic bacteria and their minimum inhibitory concentrations showed moderate antibacterial activities.
