Abstract

In this research, the synthesis of a silver coordination polymer derived from1,2-bis (4-pyridyl)-ethane (BPA) and benzimidazole (BIMZ) is reported. It was synthesized, characterized and used as a precursor for silver oxide nanoparticles by calcination. The as-obtained complex products was characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, UV-visible spectra fluorescence technique, thermal analysis and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). X-ray powder diffraction analysis (XRD) showed that the size of the silver oxide nanoparticles obtained is 29 nm. The oxide exhibits strong antimicrobial actions on some Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria.
