dc.description.abstract	Novel methyl imidazolium based di-cationic, ionic liquids were synthesized using two spacers, 1,3-dibromopropane and (E)-1,4-dibromo-2-butene. Seven different types of anions were used to synthesize a total of 16 ionic liquids. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy were utilized to characterize ionic liquids. The synthesized ionic liquids were tested for their antibacterial activity against a panel of bacteria that included Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Klebsiella pneumonia and Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. The results exhibited that the ionic liquids had a good antibacterial activity against all the five tested bacteria.	en_US
