The title compound (2,2'-(piperazine-1,4-diyl)bis(N'-((E)-5-chloro-2-hydroxybenzylidene) acetohydrazide) (5-ClPAH) was synthesized by reacting 1,4-Piperazinediacetic acid, 1,4-dihydrazide and 5 -Chloro-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde. Mass spectrometry, 1H, 13C-NMR, IR results of the synthesized compound were examined. Many information about physical and chemical properties of 5-ClPAH can be obtained by theoretical calculations. Density functional theory (DFT) is widely used theoretical method for predicting of chemical structures. The structure was optimized using DFT/6311G method with GAUSSIAN09. Frontier Molecular Orbitls (HOMO and LUMO) energies were calculated. Global reactivity descriptors and also electrophilic and nucleophilic regions were defined by molecular electrostatic potential surface. Antibacterial and fungal activity were evaluated.

In this study, Differential Pulse Polarography (DPP) method was preferred of Cd (II) and Pb (II) levels, which have toxic effects. This method was applied to determine Cd and Pb levels in cold-pressed olive oil brought from 5 different provinces of Turkey. The samples were dissolved in microwave digestion using concentrated HNO3 and H2O2. Analyses were carried out in acetate buffer (pH 4) to which EDTA was added. The LOD for Cd and Pb was found as 0.74, 0.52 µg L-1 and the LOQ was 0.96, 0.82 µg L-1. Additions were made from standard Cd and Pb solutions and the % recovery values were measured as 98 and 99. The relative standard deviation (RSD, %) was found < 5. This method was found to be sensitive to the analyses of two toxic elements in cold pressed olive oil.
