In this work, a series of N-hydroxy-2,6-diaryl-3-alkylpiperidin-4-one semicarbazones and
thiosemicarbazones have been synthesized and also subjected towards cyclic voltammetric studies.
The structure of reduced products was confirmed by FTIR, 1H & 13C NMR spectral analysis. Further
products were also screened for antimicrobial activities and it shows high significant effect towards
Aspergillus niger among the eight tested fungal species. The propency towards order of reduced products
is observed sharply and it was established that irreversible reduction of two electron transfers has
taken for all four synthesized compounds and highly pH dependent. Among the synthesized compound,
thiosemicarbzones showed versatile features with high diffusion coefficient value in minimum power
consumption of current function.
