In this study, dichlorobisspiro(N/N)cyclotriphosphazenes with 4-chlorobenzyl and ferrocenyl-pendant arms were prepared to investigate their spectroscopic and crystallographic characterizations, and antituberculosis activities. The chlorine replacement reactions of tetrachloro(4-chlorobenzyl)spiro(N/N)cyclotri-phosphazenes with ferrocenyldiamines (4 and 5) lead to dichlorobispiro(N/N)cyclotriphosphazenes, containing unsymmetrical diaminospirorings. All cyclotriphosphazenes were characterized by mass spectrometry, FTIR and 31P NMR spectroscopies. Two different stereogenic P-centers are present in the unsymmetrically substituted inorganicorganic fused hybrid rings. These compounds may be in the form of racemic mixtures (RR'/SS' and RS'/SR'). The molecular and crystal structures of trans (6a and 7a) and cis (6b and 7b) isomers were elucidated by singlecrystal X-ray structural crystallography. The space groups of trans-6a, cis-6b, trans-7a and cis-7b are centrosymmetric P -1, P bca, P 21/n and P bca, respectively. Therefore, the crystal lattices contain both enantiomers. The absolute configurations of P2 atoms of 6a, 6b, 7a and 7b are R, R, S and S, respectively. It was determined that the most effective compound was 6b against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv (ATCC 27,294) strain among the phosphazenes 6a, 6b and 10b. Among the compounds, In the reversible cyclic voltammograms of ferrocenyldispirophosphazenes, only one oxidation-reduction wave was observed. The HOMO energy values of the compounds were figured out using the oxidation potential (Eox). Whereas, the LUMO energy values were figured out from the optical band gap values using Tauc plots. In addition, it was determined that the most effective compound that can be used in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) is cis-11b.
