The inhibiting effect of two newly synthesized organic compounds, QP-H and QP-OCH3, based on 8-hydroxyquinoline, on mild steel corrosion in 1 M HCl has been assessed. The experimental results showed that QP-H and QP-OCH3 can effectively prevent corrosion and their inhibition efficacy improves with increasing concentration.
The inhibiting effect of two newly synthesized organic compounds based on 8-hydroxyquinoline, 2-amino-4phenyl-2H-pyrano[3,2-h]quinolin-3-carbonitrile (QP-H) and 2-amino-4-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2H-pyrano[3,2-h] quinolin-3-carbonitrile (QP-OCH3), on mild steel (MS) corrosion in 1 M HCl has been assessed using various electrochemical techniques [potentiodynamic polarization curves (PP curves) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS)], scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV-visible spectroscopy, and theoretical calculations. The experimental results have revealed that QP-H and QP-OCH3 significantly prevent MS corrosion and that their inhibition efficacy improves upon increasing their concentration. The maximum inhibition efficiency of QP-H and QP-OCH3 was determined to be 92 and 79.1% at 10-3 M, respectively. QP-H and QP-OCH3 are mixedtype inhibitors, according to our PP study. Thermodynamic specific data such as the energy, entropy and enthalpy of activation have been determined and discussed. The adsorption of BQMT and QMHC on the MS surface has been examined using SEM, UV-visible spectroscopy, and different isotherm models, which obeys the Langmuir isotherm model. Simulations based on density functional theory (DFT) and molecular dynamics simulation (MDS) have been used to further understand the corrosion resistance mechanism.
