Computer simulations using Monte Carlo methods are used to investigate the effects of interparticle correlations on small-angle X-ray and neutron scattering from moderate or highly concentrated systems of ellipsoids of revolution. Both oblate and prolate ellipsoids, of varying eccentricities and concentrations, are considered. The advantage with Monte Carlo simulation is that completely general models, both regarding particle shapes and interaction potentials, can be considered. Equations are also given that relate the nonideal part of the chemical potential, βμni, with the scattering at zero angle,I(0), and the compressibility factor,z. The quantity βμnican be obtained during the Monte Carlo simulations by using Widom's test-particle method. For spherical particles, the simulations are compared with approximation formulas based on the Percus–Yevick equation. A method is also suggested for the calculation of both βμniandzfrom experimental values ofI(0) recorded as a function of concentration.

Some thiazole derivatives: 2-acetyl-thiazole, 2-isobutyl-thiazole, 4-methyl-5-(2-hydroxyethyl)-thiazole, 2,4,5-trimethyl-thiazole used as corrosion inhibitors for iron were calculated at DFT-PBEPBE/6-31+G(d,p) level of theory and by Monte Carlo simulations. Quantum chemical parameters such as EHOMO, ELUMO, and HOMO and LUMO energy gap, chemical potential (m), electronegativity (c), global hardness (h), softness (S), dipole moment and electrophilicity index (w) have been calculated and discussed in detail to evaluate their inhibiting effectiveness. Mulliken-charges distribution and Fukui function were also calculated in order to visualize the reactive sites of the inhibitor molecules. Calculated results show that 2-acetyl-thiazole represents as the most efficient corrosion inhibitor. The –C4=C5– atomic center of thiazole ring demonstrates as the adsorption site in reaction with metallic surface. Corrosion inhibition effectiveness can be classified in decreasing order: ATZ > TMTZ » SFR > ISTZ.  Adsorption energies and interaction configurations of the four thiazole derivatives on Fe (110) were obtained using the Monte Carlo simulations. The results indicate that sulphur and nitrogen atoms as well as π-electronic systems within the thiazole ring aided the interaction between the inhibitor molecules and the Fe surface. All the four thiazole molecules adsorbed in parallel orientations on Fe (110) surface which ensures strong interactions with Fe. The adsorption energies were in accord with the results obtained using quantum chemical calculations.
