A monolayer of a Cu2+-tetraazamacrocyclic complex on glass as the adhesive layer for silver nanoparticles grafting, in the preparation of surface-active antibacterial materials

Abstract

A silane-derivatized tetraaza Cu2+ macrocyclic complex is prepared, which forms monolayers on glass surfaces, capable of allowing the further deposition of a stable monolayer of silver nanoparticles, obtaining by this, surfaces that display an enhanced antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli.
