The incorporation of specific side chains facilitated improved thermal stability, solubility, and broad absorption spectra (300–750 nm), narrow bandgaps (1.68–1.74 eV) and PCEs in the

Keywords: antioxidant; deep eutectic solvent; Knoevenagel; ʟ-proline DES; rhodanine; Introduction Rhodanines and related five-membered heterocycles with multiple heteroatoms (i.e., thiazolidinediones, thiazolidinones, hydantoins, thiohydantoins) are very interesting

• compounds and allow, for example, the formation of rhodanine-fused spiro[pyrrolidine-2,3′-oxindoles] D having antidiabetic activity [6]. Thiazolidinediones and thiazolidinones were found to be potent moieties of a series of furan-2-ylmethylenethiazolidinediones E that were studied as selective ATP

• synthesis of NaDES plays a major role in the resulting viscosity [20]. For example, ʟ-proline/glycerol (Pro/Gly; 1:2) was found to have a pH value of 7.25 and a viscosity of 5064 cP [20]. In 2018, Molnar et al. reported the antioxidant activity of a series of rhodanine derivatives synthesized by a
