Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) can be used as reservoirs of metal ions with relevant
antibacterial effects. Here, two novel Zn-based MOFs with the formulas [Zn4( 4-O)( -FA)L2]
(GR-MOF-8) and [Zn4( 4-O)L2(H2O)] (GR-MOF-9) (H3L: 5-((4-carboxyphenyl)ethynyl) in isophthalic
acid and FA (formate anion) were solvothermally synthetized and fully characterized. The antibacterial
activity of GR-MOF-8 and 9 was investigated against Staphylococcus aureus (SA) and Escherichia
Coli (EC) by the agar diffusion method. Both bacteria are among the most relevant human and
animal pathogens, causing a wide variety of infections, and are often related with the development
of antimicrobial resistances. While both Zn-based materials exhibited antibacterial activity against
both strains, GR-MOF-8 showed the highest inhibitory action, likely due to a more progressive Zn
release under the tested experimental conditions. This is particularly evidenced in the inhibition of
SA, with an increasing effect of GR-MOF-8 with time, which is of great significance to ensure the
disappearance of the microorganism.
