The structural and thermal properties of this novel BPOM were thoroughly analyzed using FT-IR, TGA, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. The incorporation of boron into these structures is believed to enhance their antimicrobial properties. The antimicrobial activity of the compound was evaluated against two Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus), three Gramnegative bacteria (Escherichia coli, Legionella spp., Legionella pneumophila sg 2-15), and a yeast (Candida albicans) using disc diffusion and tube dilution (Minimal Inhibition Concentration) methods. The results demonstrated that the synthesized compound exhibited significant antimicrobial activity, particularly against Bacillus cereus (Gram-positive) and Legionella spp. and Legionella pneumophila sg 2-15 (Gram-negative).eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAntimicrobial activityMICPolyoxometalateSingle crystalArticle27210.1016/j.poly.2025.1174532-s2.0-85219063400Q2WOS:001438108600001Q2
