Optimasi Sifat Inhibitor Korosi Senyawa Thiaamida-pirazolindol Berdasarkan Teori Fungsional Kerapatan

. Corrosion inhibitor properties of thiamide pyrazolindole and its derivatives has been elucidated by means of density functional theory (DFT) at B3LYP/6-31G(d) level of theory. Effect of electron donating and withdrawing groups such as NH2, SH, CHCH2, CH3, OH, CHO, COOH, F and NO2 on the corrosion inhibitor of thiamide pyrazolindole derivatives also have been studied. The quantum chemical parameters such as the frontier orbital energies (EHOMO), ionization potential (I), electron affinity (A) and electronegativity (χ) are closely related to the corrosion inhibition efficiency (IE%) of thiamide pyrazolindole derivatives. The presence of electron donating groups increases IE% values meanwhile electron withdrawing groups reduce IE% values. The enhancement of IE% follows NO2 < CHO < COOH < SH < F < CH3 < CHCH2 < OH < NH2. Electron donating NH2 group gives 98,76 % of IE%, pure thiamide pyrazolindol IE% = 90,80 %. In contrast, electron withdrawing NO2 group gives IE% only 82,82 %. This theoretical study would have a significant contribution in designing high-efficiency organic corrosion inhibitors
