In this work we tried to exploited the well known antibacterial properties of certain metal ions by functionalizing SiO2 surfaces with a copper(II) complex and with silver nanoparticles (NP). By linking a trimethoxysilane moiety to a macrocyclic copper complex (Cu(13AneN4) – Fig. 1) we obtained a molecule suitable for SAM preparation on glass surfaces (i.e. glass, quartz, SiO2/Si). Chemical-physical and morphological characteristics of Cu(13AneN4) SAM were assessed, proving the formation of a homogeneous monomolecular layer.

Abstract
In this work we tried to exploited the well known antibacterial properties of certain metal ions by functionalizing SiO2 surfaces with a copper(II) complex and with silver nanoparticles (NP). By linking a trimethoxysilane moiety to a macrocyclic copper complex (Cu(13AneN4) – Fig. 1) we obtained a molecule suitable for SAM preparation on glass surfaces (i.e. glass, quartz, SiO2/Si). Chemical-physical and morphological characteristics of Cu(13AneN4) SAM were assessed, proving the formation of a homogeneous monomolecular layer.File in questo prodotto:
