Diverse Pathway to Obtain Antibacterial and Antifungal Agents Based on Silica Particles Functionalized by Amino and Phenyl Groups with Cu(II) Ion Complexes.

Production of environmentally friendly multitasking materials is among the urgent challenges of chemistry and ecotechnology. The current research paper describes the synthesis of amino-/silica and amino-/phenyl-/silica particles using a one-pot sol-gel technique. CHNS analysis and titration demonstrated a high content of functional groups, while scanning electron microscopy revealed their spherical form and ∼200 nm in size.
