Abstract:Four Ag-based coordination polymers [Ag(Bim)] (1), [Ag-2(NIPH)(HBim)] (2), [Ag-6(4-NPTA)(Bim)(4)] (3) and [Ag-2(3-NPTA)(bipy)(0.5)(H2O)] (4) (HBim = 1H-benzimidazole, bipy = 4,4'-bipyridyl, H2NIPH = 5-nitroisophthalic acid, H(2)NPTA = 3-/4-nitrophthalic acid) have been synthesized by hydrothermal reaction of Ag(I) salts with N-/O-donor ligands. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction indicated that these coordination polymers constructed from mononuclear or polynuclear silver building blocks exhibit three typical structure features from 1-D to 3-D frameworks. These compounds favour a slow release of Ag+ ions leading to excellent and long-term antimicrobial activities, which is distinguished by their different topological structures, towards both Gram-negative bacteria, Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Gram-positive bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). In addition, these compounds show good thermal stability and light stability under UV-vis and visible light, which are important characteristics for their further application in antibacterial agents.
