A series of 4-substituted N-(2-mercaptophenyl)salicylideneimine Schiff bases were synthesized and investigated for corrosion inhibition of mild steel in hydrochloric acid medium. Inhibition through adsorption mechanism is proposed for these inhibitors, which is well supported by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, the Langmuir adsorption isotherm and Scanning Electron Microscope morphologies of inhibited and uninhibited mild steel specimens. The negative a dagger G (ads) indicates the spontaneous adsorption of the inhibitor on a mild steel surface. Among all the examined inhibitors, 5-bromo-N-(2-mercaptophenyl)salicylideneimine showed a higher inhibition efficiency. In order to reveal the usefulness of these Schiff bases as corrosion inhibitors under various circumstances, weight loss measurements were performed at various temperatures, acid concentrations and immersion times.
