Functionalised multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are exclusively used in antibacterial activity due to their high aspect ratio and surface penetration characteristics. This study reports the synthesis of piperazine and dopamine functionalised MWCNTs to investigate antibacterial activity against strains like Staphylococcus aureus and Micrococcus luteus. MWCNTs were activated through acid oxidation and then refluxed at 75°C for 10 and 8 h in the presence of piperazine and dopamine, respectively. The functionalised MWCNTs were characterised by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy, X‐ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. Moreover, functionalised MWCNTs were subjected to zone inhibition assay on agar plates. Results revealed the significant antibacterial activity against various bacteria up to 50%. Similarly, it was observed that the effect of different solvents, such as dimethyl formamide (DMF) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was non‐prevalent to the bacterial zone of inhibition. Such facile nano‐modifications provide passage to nano‐antibacterials for advanced studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Dimorphamides A-C (-, resp.), three new polyphenolic amides, have been isolated from the BuOH-soluble fraction of the whole plant of Atriplex dimorphostagia, along with two known compounds, thymidine and N-[( E)-feruloyl]tyramine. Their structures have been determined on the basis of spectral studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the title compound, C17H12F3NO4S, the heterocyclic thia-zine ring adopts a half-chair conformation and the dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 43.28 (9)°. The α,β-unsaturated C=C group is inclined at an angle of 21.0 (3)° to the benzene ring of the benzo-thia-zine moiety. In the crystal, inversion dimers linked by pairs of carb-oxy-lic acid O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds generate R 2 (2)(8) loops. Each of the F atoms accepts a Ca-H⋯F (a = aromatic) hydrogen bond from an adjacent mol-ecule, resulting in (001) sheets.

In the title phospho-nate, C19H21O9P, the dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 63.33 (3)°, and the P atom has a distorted tetra-hedral geometry, with angles in the range 101.30 (6)-120.38 (6)°. No significant inter-molecular inter-actions are observed in the crystal structure, and π-π inter-actions between symmetry-related benzene rings are beyond 4 Å.
