Construction of a supramolecular antibacterial material based on water-soluble pillar[5]arene and a zwitterionic guest molecule†
Abstract
A new antibacterial system (HG) based on the host–guest chemistry between pillar[5]arene and a zwitterionic guest was fabricated. The HG complex displayed excellent antibacterial and biofilm formation inhibition and dispersal activities against E. coli, S. aureus and MRSA.
