A Quantum-chemical Study of the Corrosion Inhibition of Iron by Means of Aniline Derivatives in Hydrochloric Acid

Abstract

Abstract When various properties of organic compounds are to be expressed, it is necessary to explore the connection between their experiment and theory. To determine the mechanism of the inhibition process by organic materials, the electron structure of a set of organic compounds is studied and correlated with their electrochemical corrosion measurements. This paper discusses the inhibition of corrosion in 5% hydrochloric acid by means of p-substituted anilines with respect to quantum chemistry.
