We report on the first examples on the antibacterial activity towards Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria of 2D silver-based coordination polymers obtained by self-assembly with acetylenic dithioether ligands. Their structure imparts a good stability that allows a sustainable release of Ag+ in the media.
