Key Points

The supramolecular Zn(II)-metallogel exhibits significant antibacterial properties across various bacterial strains.
Testing showed strong activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, indicating broad-spectrum efficacy.
The gelator used is isophthalic acid, which plays a crucial role in the metallogel's formation and antimicrobial action.
The findings suggest that these metallogels could serve as effective antimicrobial agents in medical applications.

Implication

Observational analysis reveals strong antibacterial activity of zinc metallogels against bacteria, highlighting antimicrobial potential.

Abstract

Supramolecular Zn( ii )-metallogels, formed using the low molecular weight gelator isophthalic acid, demonstrate strong antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
