A coordination polymeric gelator based on Ag(I) and 2, 7-bis(1-imidazole)fluorene: Synthesis, characterization, gelation and antibacterial properties

• A coordination polymeric gelator was synthesized in this paper.
• The gelator was characterized by 1H NMR, FT-IR, FE-SEM and UV-vis.
• The gelator forms a gel which exhibits thixotropic and stimuli responsive behavior.
• The gel exhibited antibacterial properties against some bacteria.

A coordination polymeric gelator based on Ag(I) and 2, 7-bis(1-imidazole) fluorene was synthesized and characterized by 1H NMR, FT-IR, FE-SEM, UV–vis. The gelator forms a gel which exhibits thixotropic behavior and stimuli responsive to S2−, I− and displays antibacterial properties against Bacillus subtilis, Streptococcus aureus and Escherchia coli bacteria.
