Yd. Kulkarni et al., SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF SOME NEW DIORGANOSELENIUM TELLURIUMCOMPOUNDS AND A COMPARATIVE-STUDY OF THEIR ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY/, Journal of the Indian Chemical Society, 72(4), 1995, pp. 261-262
Antibacterial acid antifungal activities of organoselenium compounds a
re well known(1). The antimicrobial activity of organoselenium compoun
ds is many times more than the sulphur and oxygen analogs(2) having is
osteric elements. However, literature regarding the tellurium analog i
s very scanty. In continuation of our work, the synthesis, characteris
ation and antimicrobial activity of some newer organoselenium and orga
notellurium compounds of the type (ArCO)(2)MCl(2) are reported here.
