A silane-derivatized tetraaza Cu2+ macrocyclic complex is prepared, which forms monolayers on glass surfaces, capable of allowing the further deposition of a stable monolayer of silver nanoparticles, obtaining by this, surfaces that display an enhanced antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli.
