The corrosion inhibition performance of benzimidazole and its derivatives have been studied by density functional theory DFT in aqueous medium. For this investigation, the corrosion inhibition efficiencies of the protonated and non-protonated spesies of benzimidazole and its derivatives were investigated. The ionization potential of the inhibitors has a strong influence on the efficiency of corrosion inhibitors. The linear correlation was shown between electronic properties and corrosion inhibition efficiency. Electron donating substituents increase the corrosion inhibition efficiency, whereas electron withdrawing substituents give the opposite effect. The NH2 substituent contributes highest, whereas NO2 provides the weakest contribution to the corrosion inhibition efficiency for both non-protonated and protonated species of inhibitors.

Many experts working in the field of corrosion work in laboratories experimentally with long-term procedures and high costs by making changes in the structures of new corrosion inhibitors or existing inhibitors. Advances in computational chemistry and computer software in recent years combine corrosion prevention studies with theoretical chemistry, enabling fast, cheap and highly accurate research. Researchers working in this field can now predict the electronic, molecular and adsorption properties of anti-corrosion molecules at the molecular level with density functional theory (DFT) and Molecular Dynamics Simulation. This section includes: introduction, corrosion mechanisms, introduction to corrosion inhibitors, density functional theory (DFT) and corrosion applications, Molecular Dynamics Simulation, DFT and Molecular Dynamics Simulation applications of the effectiveness of the selected corrosion inhibitor and results. The theoretical data obtained by both the DFT approach and the molecular dynamics simulation approach showed that the corrosion inhibition efficiency order against iron corrosion for the studied Schiff bases and derivatives can be presented as: DBAMTT> SAMTT> AMTT. HOMO energy value of DBAMTT has −8,18144, HOMO energy value of SAMTT has −8,09001, and AMTT has −8,01518 in HF/6–31++G** basis set.
