Abstract
AbstractDialkyl and alkylene dithiophoshoric acids react with diphenyl diselenide in a 1:2 molar ratio in refluxing benzene to yield Ph2Se2·2HS2P(OR)2 (R = Et, Pr‐n, Pr‐i, Bu‐i and Ph) and , where G = ‐CH2CMe2CH2‐, ‐CH2CEt2CH2‐ and ‐CMe2CMe2‐. The complexes are yellow solids (in the cyclic chain) and yellow sticky solids (in the open chain), are soluble in common organic solvents and are monomeric in nature. They were characterized on the basis of elemental analyses, molecular weight determinations, IR and NMR (1H, 13C and 31P). The spectral data revealed addition of dithiophosphate moieties to the diselenide. Studies were conducted to assess the growth‐inhibiting potential of some of the synthesized complexes against various bacterial strains. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
