KEYWORDSCondensation of 4,4-diaminodiphenyl sulfone (Dapsone) with aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes yielded a few Schiff base derivatives in good yields. The optimized structural parameters (bond lengths and bond angles) of three azomethine compounds have been obtained by using the GAUSSIAN 09 program package. Conformer of compound 1 has the highest energy, which has less stability than compounds 2 and 3 at the same model. The synthesized compounds were screened for antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis and fungicidal activity against Aspergillus niger and Candida albicans. All compounds exhibited potent antibacterial and antifungal activity with the reference standard ciprofloxacin and Amphotericin B, respectively.
