ABSTRACT A major global health concern that is fueling the urgent need for new antimicrobial medicines is the growing resistance of microorganisms to traditional antibiotics, which becomes less effective due to the quick emergence of multidrug‐resistant bacterial and fungal strains, highlighting the significance of creating novel approaches to treat microbial illnesses. To overcome this issue, a class of porous materials, known as metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), has evolved as they demonstrated significant promise in biomedical applications, as they are good candidates for creating potent antibacterial agents because of their large surface area, adjustable porosity, and chemical adaptability. The well‐known antibacterial qualities of zinc ions have drawn attention to zinc‐based MOFs (Zn‐MOFs) in particular. In this work, aliphatic dicarboxylic acid–based flexible Zn‐MOFs have been synthesized and investigated for their biological potency as an antibacterial material. The synthesized compounds were characterized by using Fourier‐transform infrared (FT‐IR) spectroscopy, powder X‐ray diffraction (PXRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE‐SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area analysis.
