New metastable interfacial synthesis of a silver-terephthalate metal organic framework: structure, morphology and antibacterial activities

Abstract

In this work a silver terephthalate-based Metal Organic Framework, [Ag2(BDC)]n (where H2BDC is the terephthalic acid) has been obtained by new synthetic routes using terephthalic acid and silver salts dissolved...

Enhanced antibacterial activity of a novel silver-based metal organic framework towards multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumonia

“…This process facilitates a cascade of reactions involving cell membrane denaturation due to ROS generation or DNA intercalation, hampering cell transcription and replication, and ultimately culminating in bacterial demise. 16,25,26 Many other articles were reports on using pure Ag-MOF as an antimicrobial agent. 27–29 However, the majority of the antimicrobial-based Ag-MOFs suffer from the complex structure of the linker and high MIC.…”
