Synthesis of 4-Azo-3,5-Substituted-1,2,4-Triazole Polymers and Study of their Applications

Melted thiocarbohydrazide was used to create the 1,2,4-triazole ring derivatives along with some substituted benzoic acids. Afterwards, coupling with various aromatic amines yields 1,2,4-triazole 4-azo derivatives. These derivatives were treated with dry acetonitrile, pyridine, and polyacryloyl chloride to yield polymers of 4-azo-3,5-substituted-1,2,4-triazole. Certain polymers, like compounds (9, 12, 14, and 15) showed promising results in antibacterial and anticorrosion studies. Physical characteristics of all synthesized compounds and polymers—FT-IR and 1H-NMR for some of them—were used to identify them, and then the compounds’ and polymers’ antibacterial and anticorrosion.
