1. Experimental
All reagents and solvents were of reagent-grade quality and were obtained from commercial
suppliers. All solvents were dried and purified as described by Perrin and Armarego [1]. 4-
nitrophthalonitrile was obtained from commercial suppliers. Schiff base compound (1) was
prepared according to literature [2]. All reactions were carried out under dry and oxygen free
nitrogen atmosphere using schlenk system. 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR spectra were recorded on a
Bruker AVANCE III 400 MHz NMR spectrophotometer in CDCl 3, and chemical shifts were
reported (δ) relative to Me4Si as internal standard. IR spectra were recorded on a Perkin–
Elmer Spectrum one FT-IR spectrometer. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-
flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) measurements were performed on a BRUKER
Microflex. Melting point was recorded on a GallenKamp melting point apparatus. DPPH was
purchased from Sigma-Aldrich and trolox was supplied by Sigma- Aldrich Appli Chem
(Darmstadt, Germany). Optical spectra in the UV-vis region were recorded with a Perkin
Elmer Lambda 25 spectrophotometer.

1.2. Determination of Antioxidant Capacity
The antioxidant activities of the compounds (Co, Cu and Zn) were analyzed by two
commonly preferred methods (FRAP and DPPH tests), which are considered as a good
indicator of the antioxidant capability of various compounds. The FRAP is an antioxidant
activity determination method based on the reduction of Fe3+ -TPTZ complex to the Fe2+
-TPTZ complex in the presence of antioxidants [3]. A volume of 100 µl of the compound
dissolved in DMSO was mixed with 3 mL of freshly prepared FRAP reagent. The reaction
mixture was then incubated for 4 min at 37 °C. The absorbances of the substances were
determined at 593 nm against the blank. A calibration curve was prepared using absorbances
from the FeSO4.7H20 solution in the range of 31.25-1000 μM. FRAP values were stated as
µM FeSO4.7H2O equivalent/g sample.
For the preparation of the compounds; it was dissolved inside 10% dimethyl sulphoxide
(DMSO, Sigma–Aldrich, USA) that did not show inhibition against the tested
microorganisms to obtain 20 mg/mL stock solution. This stock solution was filtered by 0.45
diametered steril membrane filter and the compound was collected into a sterile tube.
Alamar Blue Dye (Sigma–Aldrich, USA) was used as indicator stain for detection of
antimicrobial activity. The Alamar Blue Dye stock solution (270 mg alamar blue dye
dissolved in 40 mL sterile distilled water) was filtered by 0.45 diametered membrane filter
and collected into a sterile tube.
broth assay with Alamar Blue Dye. Antibacterial activity test was carried out by repeating the
procedures of our previous study [5]. Briefly: The in vitro antimicrobial activities of the
compounds were tested in MHB for bacteria by the two fold serial dilution method (CLSI
M100-S25). Determine to the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) by two fold serial
dilution of the compounds at the descending concentration ranging from 10.000 to 312 µg/ml
were prepared in MHB medium in a sterile 96-well round bottomed microplate, final volume
of 100 µl per well. After a 100 µl volume of final bacteria inoculum suspension was added to
each well containing diluted compounds. Last two well used as negative (the compound and
alamar blue dye) and positive control (standart bacterial isolates and alamar blue dye),
respectively. About 20 µl Alamar Blue Dye was added to each well, after 20 h of incubation
at 37°C. Then, the plate was incubated again with Alamar Blue Dye for 4 h at 37°C. In
determination of antibacterial activities of compounds, that changing the color from blue to
pink in well was evaluated as proliferation of bacteria, whereas the unchanged color wasn't
proliferation and the unchanged last well was described as the minimum inhibitory
concentration (MIC) value. The MICs were recorded observing visually after 24 h incubation
of bacteria. Amikacin was used as standard control for bacteria studies. All tests were carried
out in duplicate.
