Novel amine- and ammonium-terminated carbosilane dendrimers of type G(n)-[Si{CH(2)O-(C(6)H(4))-3-NMe(2)}](x) or G(n)-[Si{CH(2)O-(C(6)H(4))-3-NMe(3)(+)I(-)}](x) have been synthesized and characterized up to second generation by phenolysis of (chloromethyl)silyl-terminated dendrimers with 3-dimethylamine phenol and subsequent quaternization with methyl iodide. Quaternized carbosilane dendrimers are stable in protic solvents and can be solubilised in water after the addition of less than 1% of dimethyl sulfoxide. A study of the antimicrobial activity of these cationic dendrimers of first and second generation against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria is also described. The results obtained demonstrate that the new ammonium-terminated carbosilane dendrimers can be considered as multivalent biocides.
