Abstract

Due to the fast, emerging development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, the need for novel, efficient routes to battle these pathogens is crucial; in this scenario, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are promising materials for combating them effectively. Herein, a novel Cu-MOF-namely 1-that displays the formula [Cu3L2(DMF)2]n (DMF = N,N-dimethylformamide) is described, synthesized by the combination of copper(II) and 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid (H3L)-both having well-known antibacterial properties. The resulting three-dimensional structure motivated us to study the antibacterial activity, adsorptive capacity and processability of the MOF in the form of pellets and membranes as a proof-of-concept to evaluate its future application in devices.

Keywords: adsorption capacity; antibacterial activity; material processing; metal-organic frameworks.

Schematic representation of the asymmetric unit in [Cu3L2(DMF)2]n (1), emphasizing the disorder present in the coordinated DMF molecule and the inversion centre present in the Cu2 atom. Metal centre coordination environments were generated using the symmetry transformation (i) x + 3/2, y + 1/2, −z + 1/2; (ii) x + 1/2, −y + 3/2, z + 1/2; (iii) −x + 2, −y + 2, −z + 1; (iv) x − 1/2, − y + 3/2, z − 1/2; (v) – x + 1, y, − z + 1/.

Diffusion assays showing the inhibitory activity against S. aureus of copper nitrate, H3L (ligand) and compound 1. The negative control sample—without inhibitory activity—contained calcium phosphate, which was also used as a supporting material in the rest of the samples (25 mg of active compound and 75 mg of calcium phosphate).
