Three sets of ionic liquids such as 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazole chloride [Cnmim]Cl, 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate [Cnmim]Ac and 1-octyl-3-methylimidazole salt [Omim]Y (n = 2, 4, 6, 8, and Y = Cl, BF4, HSO4, Ac and TFO) were used as corrosion inhibitor medium for corrosion protection of carbon steel. Electronic structures and reactivity of these ionic liquids, surface energy and electronic structures of the iron surface were systematically analyzed by density functional theory. By increasing the alkyl chain length of the [Cnmim]Cl and [Cnmim]Ac systems, the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy (ELUMO), the highest occupied molecular orbital energy (EHOMO), the softness (S) and polarizability (α) increased gradually, whereas electronegativity (χ), energy gap (ΔE), hardness (η), dipole moment (μ)and electrophilic index (ω) gradually decreased. For the [Omim]Y system, the structure parameters of ionic liquids are quite different, and only the polarizability (α) decreases gradually by increasing the length of the alkyl chain. The results show that inhibition is mainly [Cnmim]+ cations of the [Cnmim]Cl system, and the order of inhibition efficiency follows as [C2mim]Cl < [C4mim]Cl < [C6mim]Cl < [C8mim]Cl. Both [Cnmim]+ cations and the Ac− anion have inhibition effect for the [Xmim]Ac system, and the order of inhibition efficiency is [C8mim]Ac > [C6mim]Ac > [C4mim]Ac > [C2mim]Ac. For the [Omim]Y system, [Xmim]+ cations and anions (BF4−, HSO4−, Ac−, TfO−) have inhibition effect, and the order of inhibition efficiency is [Omim]TfO > [Omim]Ac > [Omim]HSO4 > [Omim]BF4 > [Omim]Cl.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the adsorption and corrosion inhibition of two isomeric compounds (C4H5N3) as aminopyrazine (AP) and 2-amino-pyrimidine (2AP) on mild steel (MS) in 0.5 M HCl. The study was a trial to combine experimental and modelling studies and research effect of molecular geometry on inhibition effect of inhibitor molecules. Design/methodology/approach The thermodynamic, kinetic and quantum parameters were determined. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and anodic polarisation measurements were obtained. The scanning electron microscope was used for monitoring electrode surface. The highest occupied molecular orbital, energy of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital, Mulliken and natural bonding orbital charges on the backbone atoms, absolute electronegativity, absolute hardness were calculated by density functional theory (DFT)/B3LYP/6-311G (++ d,p). Findings Results showed that AP and 2AP suppressed the corrosion rate of MS. The corrosion current values were 0.530, 0.050 and 0.016 mA cm-2 in HCl, AP and 2AP containing HCl solutions, respectively. It was illustrated with the blocked fraction of the MS surface by adsorption of inhibitors which obeyed the Langmuir isotherm. The inhibition efficiency follows the order: 2AP > AP which is in agreement with experimental and quantum results. Originality/value This paper provides lay a bridge on the molecular geometry and inhibition efficiency by electrochemical tests and modelling study. The inhibition effect of AP and 2AP has not been compared with each other, neither experimentally nor theoretically. This study put forward possible application of 2AP as corrosion inhibitor especially for closed-circuit systems.

Inhibition Performance

The corrosion inhibition performance of a corrosion inhibitor on mild steel in phosphoric acid, namely 5-chloro-1-(2-(dimethylamino) ethyl) indoline-2,3-dione (TZCDI), was theoretically evaluated using density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP/6-31G+(d,p) level for all atoms by Gaussian 09W program. The quantum chemical properties, such as highest occupied molecular orbital energy (EHOMO), lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy (ELUMO) energy gap (∆Egap), dipole moment (μ), total hardness (η), and electronegativity (χ), were studied, and these descriptors were discussed in connection to the experimental inhibitory efficiency. The local reactivity was analyzed through the Fukui function in order to compare the possible sites for nucleophilic and electrophilic attacks. Accordingly, all data obtained using various theoretical calculation techniques were consistent with experiments.

In this study, the dependence of corrosion inhibition and microbial effects of four N-hydroxymethylated amino acids, on their molecular and electronic structure is analyzed using density functional theory calculations. Quantum chemical parameters such as highest occupied molecular orbital energy (EHOMO), lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy (ELUMO), energy gap (ΔE) were calculated at the B3LYP/6-311G++(d,p) basis set. Although no simple relationship between the inhibition performance and the calculated data could be discerned, the comparison of inactivation rate constants with energetic parameters suggested that microbial effects of the compounds can be explained in terms of their side chain disparities.

The corrosion inhibition of mild carbon steels in an acidic environment by using ampicillin (AMP) has been evaluated based on experimental and quantum chemistry techniques. The experimental results indicate that the inhibition efficiency goes up at higher AMP concentration. The highest inhibition efficiency reaches 84.9% for polarization measurement and 90.1% for electrochemical impedance spectroscopy with the inhibitor of concentration 100 ppm at 298 K. The surface characteristics (SEM) also reconfirm the steel corrosion inhibition ability of AMP. Some important chemical factors such as EHOMO (highest occupied molecular orbital energy), ELUMO (lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy), ΔEL−H (energy gap), and Fukui functions were calculated based on the optimized configuration of AMP at the theoretical level of B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p). Moreover, Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics simulations were used to analyze the absorption behavior of inhibitor on the surface of Fe(110), which supplies the mechanism of inhibition corrosion processes. The obtained results showed that AMP is considered to be a potential corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in 1M HCl medium. Moreover, the protonated state of AMP plays an important role in the protection of Fe surface against the corrosive process.

Isomerically pure 5,11-dibromo-2,8-dihexylanthra[2,3-b:7,6-b']dithiophene, a brominated analog of anthracenedithiophene (ADT), was prepared and utilized for a palladium catalyzed cyclopentannulation reaction with 3,3’-dimethoxyphenylacetylene. The resulting cyclopentannulated-ADT (CP-ADT) was found to be more photo-oxidatively stable than isoelectronic CP-pentacene analogs previously prepared. In addition, the CP-ADT was able to undergo an additional Scholl cyclodehydrogenation reaction to create a contorted aromatic, an incapable feat for previous CP-pentacene analogs. The resulting compound, 4-dihexyl-5,10,17,22-tetramethoxytetrabenzo[4,5:6,7:11,12:13,14]rubiceno[2,3-b:10,9-b']dithiophene, was significantly contorted out of planarity owing to four [5]helicene-like arrangements. The density functional theory (DFT) energy minimized structures suggests splay angles of 41.80 and 40.90 for the cove regions, which are significantly larger than previously published anthracene cyclopentannulated analogs. The contorted aromatic possessed a moderately low optical gap (1.50 eV) and relatively low Lowest Occupied Molecular Orbital energy (-3.70 eV).<br>

The objective of this work was to evaluate the efficiency of inhibition the corrosion of two organic molecules derived from benzimidazole, specifically 2-mercaptobenzimidazole (2Mcb) and 2-phenylbenzimidazole (2Fb). The calculations were performed using the Density Functional Theory (DFT) at the B3LYP with 6-311+G(d,p) basis set. The quantum parameters correlated with the inhibition efficiency such as the highest occupied molecular orbital energy (EHOMO), the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy (ELUMO) , energy gap (ΔE), electronegativity (χ), hardness (η), the fractions of electrons transferred (ΔN), electrophilicity (ω) and Fukui indices, were calculated. Calculations were performed in aqueous medium in both protonated and non-protonated forms. Theoretical results were compared with experimental data and a good correlation was found between the chemical quantum parameters and the efficiency of inhibition of the molecules.

<div> <div> <div> <p>Interaction energies of halide-water dimers, X<sup>-</sup>(H<sub>2</sub>O), and trimers, X<sup>-</sup>(H<sub>2</sub>O)<sub>2</sub>, with X = F, Cl, Br, and I, are investigated using various many-body models and exchange-correlation functionals selected across the hierarchy of density functional theory (DFT) approximations. Analysis of the results obtained with the many-body models demonstrates the need to capture important short-range interactions in the regime of large inter-molecular orbital overlap, such as charge transfer and charge penetration. Failure to reproduce these effects can lead to large deviations relative to reference data calculated at the coupled cluster level of theory. Decompositions of interaction energies carried out with the absolutely localized molecular orbital energy decomposition analysis (ALMO-EDA) method demonstrate that permanent and inductive electrostatic energies are accurately reproduced by all classes of XC functionals (from generalized gradient corrected (GGA) to hybrid and range-separated functionals), while significant variance is found for charge transfer energies predicted by different XC functionals. Since GGA and hybrid XC functionals predict the most and least attractive charge transfer energies, respectively, the large variance is likely due to the delocalization error. In this scenario, the hybrid XC functionals are then expected to provide the most accurate charge transfer energies. The sum of Pauli repulsion and dispersion energies are the most varied among the XC functionals, but it is found that a correspondence between the interaction energy and the ALMO EDA total frozen energy may be used to determine accurate estimates for these contributions. </p> </div> </div> </div>
