The corrosion inhibition of mild steel by miconazole nitrate, an antifungal drug has been investigated using potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy technique, and weight loss methods. The experimental results suggested miconazole nitrate is a good corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in 1 M hydrochloric acid medium. The inhibition efficiency increased with increase in inhibitor concentration. The thermodynamic parameters were determined and discussed. The inhibition was assumed to occur via adsorption of the inhibitor molecule on the surface of mild steel following Langmuir adsorption isotherm

Diethyl 4-(4-chloro-2-propyl-1H-imidazol-5-yl)-2,6-dimethyl-1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylate monohydrate

In the title hydrate, C19H26ClN3O4·H2O, the imidazole ring is nearly perpendicular [dihedral angle = 89.5 (1)°] to the dihydropyridine moiety. The propyl and one of the ethyl groups are disordered over two resolved sets of sites [occupancy factors 0.524 (8):0.476 (8) and 0.640 (16):0.360 (16), respectively]. In the crystal, a three-dimensional network is constructed by O—H...O, N—H...O and N—H...N hydrogen bonds involving both the main molecule and the water molecule of crystallization, as well as C—H...π(ring) interactions

Corrosion mitigation of carbon steel using triazole Mannich base derivatives: Correlation of electrochemical studies with quantum chemical calculations

AbstractThe study investigated the corrosion-inhibitory properties of three synthetic triazole Mannich bases on C1018 carbon steel using various electrochemical techniques. The inhibitors, namely 4-amino-2-[(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)methyl]-5-(pyridin-4-yl)-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione (4MPT), 4-amino-2-[(piperidin-1-yl)methyl]-5-(pyridin-4-yl)-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione (PPT) and 4-amino-2-[(morpholin-4-yl)methyl]-5-(pyridin-4-yl)-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione (MPT), demonstrated the high inhibition efficiencies of 92.8%, 93.3% and 92.6%, respectively, and adhered to the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The inhibitors also functioned as mixed-type inhibitors and improved the protective layer on the metal surface. The study also utilized scanning electron microscopy - energy dispersive x-ray (SEM-EDX) analysis to examine the surface morphology of the uninhibited and inhibited carbon steel specimens. Furthermore, density functional theory (DFT) was utilized for theoretical calculations, which corroborated with experimental measurements
