A comparative evaluation of antibacterial activities of imidazolium-, pyridinium-, and phosphonium-based ionic liquids containing octyl side chains.

ABSTRACT: Antibacterial activity is an essential property of ionic liquids. In this work, a comprehensive study has been performed on the antibacterial activity of ionic liquids to be utilized for further research and applications. Eighteen ionic liquids viz. Octyl Imidazolium, octyl Pyridinium, quaternary phosphonium-based cations containing bromide, sodium methane sulphonates, bis(trifluoromethane sulfonyl) imide, dichloroacetate, tetrafluoroborate, hydrogen sulfate were prepared and characterized with the help of different spectroscopic techniques. All these samples of ionic liquids were tested for their antibacterial activity against the most commonly occurring bacteria in the environment, i.e., Enterobacter aerogenes (E. aerogenes), Proteus vulgaris (P. vulgaris), Klebsiella pneumonia
