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.

AbstractThere has been a considerable surge of experimental inquiry in recent years into understanding the factors responsible for the corrosion inhibition efficiency of chalcones; however, the question of what actually determines the efficiency still remains a topic of debate. In this study, the dependence of the inhibition effect of such two compounds, namely, 3-(3-oxo-3-phenyl-propenyl)-1H-quinolin-2-one and 3-(3-oxo-3-phenyl-propenyl)-1H-benzoquinolin-2-one, on their molecular and electronic structure is analyzed using density functional theory calculations. In agreement with experiments, this study found strong evidence to link corrosion inhibition property of the compounds to their actual molecular structures in acidic media.

Corrosion inhibitors of 2-isopropyl-5-methylphenol and its derivatives has been elucidated by means of density functional theory at B3LYP/6-31G(d) level of theory. Effect of electron donating and withdrawing groups such as NH<sub>2, </sub>SH, CHCH<sub>2</sub>, CH<sub>3</sub>, OH, CHO, COOH, F and NO<sub>2</sub> on the corrosion inhibitor of 2-isopropyl-5-methylphenol derivatives also have been studied. The quantum chemical parameters such as the frontier orbital energies (E<sub>HOMO</sub>), ionization potential (<em>I</em>), electron affinity (<em>A</em>) and electronegativity (χ) are closely related to the corrosion inhibition efficiency (IE %) of 2-isopropyl-5-methylphenol derivatives. The presence of electron donating groups increase IE % values meanwhile electron with drawing groups reduce IE % values. The enhancement of IE % follows NO<sub>2 </sub>&lt; CHO &lt; COOH &lt; SH &lt; F &lt; CH<sub>3 </sub>&lt; CHCH<sub>2 </sub>&lt; OH &lt; NH<sub>2</sub>. Electron donating NH<sub>2</sub> group gives 96.38 % of IE %, pure 2-isopropyl-5-methylphenol IE % = 82.70 %. In contrast, electron withdrawing NO<sub>2</sub> group gives IE % only 68.66 %. This theoretical study would have a significantly contribution for accelerating corrosion inhibitor experimental to gain optimum results.
