The results of spectroscopic experiments for rhodanine based azo dye 1a exhibited excellent selectivity for Cu2+ over the other metal ions. Furthermore, anti-bacterial studies of rhodanine azo dyes were performed towards some selected bacteria via microbroth dilution method. Obtained results showed that rhodanine ionophore 1a showed strong antibacterial activity against S. aureus.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRhodaninecopper(II) ionchemosensorazo-dyeantibacterial activityArticle59365666324061323WOS:000308792600028Q3
