Abstract

Three multidentate Schiff base ligands (A = 3-(2-aminobenzylimino)-1-phenylbutan-1-one], Hbzacabza; B = 3-[({o-[(E)-(o-Hydroxyphenyl)methylideneamino]phenyl}methyl)imino]-1-phenyl-1-buten-1-ol, H2bzacabzasal; and C = 3-[({o-[(E)-(2-Hydroxy-1-naphthyl)methylideneamino]phenyl}methyl)imino]-1-phenyl-1-buten-1-ol, H2bzacabzanapht) were synthesized and their inhibiting effect on the corrosion of mild steel in 1 M hydrochloric acid was examined using potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. These compounds are effective corrosion inhibitors with inhibition efficiency A < B < C. The adsorption of inhibitors obeys Langmuir adsorption isotherm and the thermodynamic parameters K ads, ΔGºads, E a are extracted. The order of K ads and E a values conforms to the observed inhibition efficiency of these compounds. The values of ΔGºads are close to −40.00 kJ/mol (in the range of −33.01 to −35.04 kJ/mol) and indicate that the corrosion inhibition effect involves both chemisorption and physisorption followed by the blocking of the active electrochemical sites on steel surface. The effect of A, B and C on mild steel was also studied by quantum chemical calculations.
