Disclosed are oligo- or polysiloxanes, which are characterized by contain ing at least 3, for example 4 - 3000, Si atoms in the main chain, and wherei n at least one thereof is contained in a moiety of the formula (I) whose ope n bond of the O atom is linked to another Si atom of the oligo- or polysilox ane main chain, and whose open bond of the Si atom is linked either to anoth er O atom of the oligo- or polysiloxane main chain or to R'1, where R1 and R '1 independently are C1-C10alkyl, R2 and R3 independently are C1-C18alkylene , X is a divalent spacer group selected from O, NR4, N(COR'5), CONR'4, OCONR '4;.Y is selected from OCOR5, NHCOR5, NHR4, COOR5, CONHR4, NR'4R4; R4 is sel ected from C6-C18 organic residues containing at least one aryl moiety; R'4 is as defined for R4; or is selected from H, C1-C20alkyl, C7-C20phenylalkyl, C4- C12cycloalkyl; R5 is R7-Z; R'5 is as defined for R5; or is selected fro m H, C1-C20alkyl, C7-C20phenylalkyl, C4- C12cycloalkyl; R7 is C1-C20alkylene , which may be interrupted by phenylene, C4-C12cycloalkylene, O, NR'4; or is unsubstituted or substituted phenylene or C4-C12cycloalkylene; Z is halogen or N+R8R9R10; R8, R9 and R10 independently are selected from C1-C20alkyl, C 7-C20phenylalkyl, C4- C12cycloalkyl, unsubstituted or substituted aryl; or 2 of R8, R9 and R10are linked together to form aquaternized aliphatic, substi tuted or unsubstituted N-heterocyclic ring of 4-6 carbon atoms such as a pip eridine ring; or all of R8, R9 and R10 are linked together to form, together with the nitrogen atom they are bonding to, a substituted or unsubstituted N-heterocyclic ring system of 4-7 carbon atoms. The novel compounds are effe ctive as antimicrobials.
