SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERISATION AND BIOCIDAL STUDIES OF SALICYL HYDROXAMIC ACID AND PHATHALIC SALICYL HYDROXAMIC ACID.

The synthesis and characterization of Salicyl hydroxamic acid (SHA) and phathalic Salicyl Hydroxamic acid (PSHA) were done. Elemental analysis IR spectral data of the compounds arediscussed and some chemical and physical properties also studied. All the compounds have been tested in vitro against a number of microorganisms inorder to assess their antimicrobial properties.
