CHEMICAL REACTIVITY AND FUMIGANT PROPERTIES OF AZOBENZENE DERIVATIVES AGAINST SOIL-DWELLING ARTHROPODS.
Keywords:
Azobenzene derivatives, fumigant activity, soil-dwelling arthropods, chemical reactivity, structure–activity relationship, volatility, pest control.Abstract
This study explores the chemical reactivity and fumigant potential of azobenzene derivatives as bioactive agents targeting soil-dwelling arthropods. Azobenzene compounds were synthesized and characterized using spectroscopic and chromatographic techniques. Their thermal stability, volatility, and isomerization behavior under environmental conditions were investigated to assess their suitability as fumigants. Bioassays against representative arthropod species demonstrated significant fumigant activity, with structure–activity relationships indicating that electron-donating substituents enhanced pesticidal efficacy. The results suggest that azobenzene-based molecules could serve as effective alternatives to conventional soil fumigants, offering a chemically tunable platform for targeted pest control with potential environmental compatibility.
