Synthesis of tolyl guanidine as copper corrosion inhibitor with a complementary study on electrochemical and in silico evaluation.

A rapid and new synthetic route for N,N'-di-o-tolyl guanidine (DTG) synthesis from cheap materials is reported. The performance of DTG as an excellent inhibitor for delaying copper (Cu) corrosion with an efficiency higher than 98% at 20 × 10 M in an acidic solution was investigated via electrochemical measurements. These measurements included PDP, EFM, and EIS spectroscopy.

Novel cationic aryl bithiophene/terthiophene derivatives as corrosion inhibitors by chemical, electrochemical and surface investigations.

Two novel bithienyl fluorobenzamidine derivatives namely, 4-([2,2':5',2''-terthiophen]-5-yl)-2-fluorobenzamidine hydrochloride salt (MA-1615), 5'-(4-amidino-3-fluorophenyl)-[2,2'-bithiophene]-5-carboxamidine dihydrochloride salt (MA-1740) were synthesized, characterized and their corrosion inhibition properties were evaluated by electrochemical methods for carbon steel (C-steel) in 1 M HCl. Experimental investigations revealed that the inhibition effectiveness of the investigated inhibitors (INHs) by the Tafel polarization method followed the order: MA-1740 (96.9%) > MA-1615 (95.

Hydroxyethylcellulose used as an eco-friendly inhibitor for 1018 c-steel corrosion in 3.5% NaCl solution.

The inhibition effect of hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC) on 1018 c-steel corrosion in 3.5% NaCl solution was investigated by using potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical frequency modulation (EFM) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques. The potentiodynamic polarization studies suggested that HEC acts as a mixed-type inhibitor.

Chitosan as a green inhibitor for copper corrosion in acidic medium.

The behavior of copper in 0.5 M HCl acid containing different concentrations of chitosan has been studied by weight loss, potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and electrochemical frequency modulation (EFM) measurements. Potentiodynamic polarization measurements show that the chitosan acts essentially as a mixed-type inhibitor.
