Efficient antimicrobial applications of two novel supramolecular metallogels derived from a l(+)-tartaric acid low molecular weight gelator.

Novel metallogels were synthesized using l(+)-tartaric acid as a gelator, along with cadmium(ii)-acetate and mercury(ii)-acetate in ,-dimethyl formamide at room temperature. Rheological analyses confirmed the mechanical stability of Cd(ii)- and Hg(ii)-metallogels under varying conditions. Characterization through EDX mapping and FESEM imaging provided insights into their chemical constituents and microstructural features.
