Abstract Exchange-correlation functional B3LYP with standard 6-31G basis sets was carried out for DFT calculations of pure zigzag GNR and two of donor-GNR-acceptor structures. The results showed good relax was obtained for studied structures. Pure zigzag GNR has small energy gap and it was reduced by adding donors and acceptors to the ribbon depending on the type of both donor and acceptor. Donor-GNRs-Acceptor have low value of global electrochemical hardness and high electronic softness than those for pure GNR, an electron can be easily transfer from valence to conduction band. Also, the electrophilic index for GNR in case of presence of donors and acceptors is greater than that for pure GNR, therefore, donor-GNRs-acceptor can easily interact with surrounding species in comparison with pure GNR. Generally, 3-D materials was constructed based on 2-D graphene can be used for different electronic applications.

The inhibitive effect of fructose, glucose, lactose, maltose, and sucrose against the iron corrosion is investigated using density functional theory at the B3LYP/6-31 G level (d) to search the relation between the molecular structure and corrosion inhibition. The electronic properties such as the energy of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO), the energy of lowest unoccupied orbital (LUMO), the energy gap (LUMO-HOMO), quantum chemical parameters such as hardness, softness, the fraction of the electron transferred, and the electrophilicity index are reported. The inhibition efficiency of the investigated carbohydrates follows the trend: maltose <sucrose<lactose<fructose<glucose.

The inhibitive action of (-)-(S)-9-fluoro-2,3-dihydro-3-methyl-10-(4-methyl-1-piperazinyl)-7-oxo-7H-pyrido[1,2,3-de]-1,4-benzoxazine-6-carboxylic acid (Levaquin) on API 5L X-52 steel in 2 M HCl solution was investigated using potentiodynamic polarization method and quantum chemical study. Levaquin drug showed good inhibition efficiency of 88 and 95 % at 303 and 323 K, respectively. The results of experimental measurements revealed that Levaquin drug works as a mixed type inhibitor. Langmuir thermodynamic model was tested to describe the mode of inhibitor adsorption on the steel surface. The quantum chemical calculations confirmed the efficacy of Levaquin drug as a corrosion inhibitor.
