Green Synthesis of Gallium-Based Metal-Organic Frameworks with Antibacterial Properties.

ABSTRACT: Bacterial drug resistance has become increasingly severe, with the development of novel antibiotics lagging far behind the evolution of resistant strains, drastically limiting clinical treatment options. Therefore, the development of new antibacterial materials is urgently needed. In this study, we synthesized a gallium-based metal-organic framework antibacterial material, designated as GM, with gallium as the central atom. Compared to a previously reported gallium-based MOF (FM), GM features a greener and milder synthesis process (room temperature, aqueous solvent, no toxic additives) while exhibiting improved antibacterial performance. Despite sharing identical raw materials, GM and FM are structurally distinct due to differences in synthesis methods, as evidenced by variations in morpho
