Abstract

The research includes synthesis of bis thiourea phthalato nickel (II) complex (PTUNi) by reaction of NiCl2⋅6H2O with 2 mol thiourea and 1 mol phthalic anhydride. The (PTUNi) complex was identified by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, UV-visible spectrophotometry, mass spectrophotometry, thermogravimetric differential thermogravimetry analyses, XRD techniques and magnetic susceptibility measurements. The complex was evaluated as corrosion inhibitor for carbon steel alloy (C1010) against a corrosive medium of 0.1 M hydrochloric acid at298 K and showed the maximal efficiency of 95.23% at a concentration of 3 ppm. The effect of temperature on the inhibition behavior was studied at 308, 318 and 328 K and the inhibitor revealed reducing efficiency as temperature raised. The inhibitor behaved as mixed inhibitor. The adsorption of the inhibitor on the surface of the alloy was studied by the Timken, Frumkin, Florry-Hugin and Langmuir adsorption isotherms. The best fitted isotherm was found to be the Langmuir isotherm. The thermodynamic functions like \(\Delta G_{{{\text{ads}}}}^{^\circ }\)and \(\Delta H_{{{\text{ads}}}}^{^\circ }\)were calculated and revealed that spontaneous adsorption, was exothermic where, the inhibitor was physiochemically adsorbed.
