Combined DFT and Monte Carlo simulation studies of potential corrosion inhibition properties of coumarin derivatives.

Context: Corrosion, the degradation of materials due to chemical reactions with their environment presents significant challenges both economically and environmentally. It affects various industries, including construction, transportation, and manufacturing, leading to equipment failures, safety hazards, and increased maintenance costs. Coumarin derivatives have shown promise due to their inherent chemical properties and potential for biodegradability.
