[AuIII(N boolean AND N)Br2](PF6): A Class of Antibacterial and Antibiofilm Complexes (N boolean AND N=2,2 '-Bipyridine and 1,10-Phenanthroline Derivatives)

A series of new complexes of general formula [AuIII(N<^>N)Br2] (PF6) (N<^>N = 2,2 '-bipyridine and 1,10-phenan-throline derivatives) were prepared and characterized by spectroscopic, electrochemical, and diffractometric techniques and tested against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains (Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus intermedius, Pseudomo-nas aeruginosa, and Escherichia coli), showing promising anti-bacterial and antibiofilm properties.
