Abstract:

The corrosion inhibitive performance, in acidic medium, of a series of macrocyclic polyether compounds containing a thiadiazolic core: n-MCTH (n=1-5) which differ by the oxygen number in the macrocyclic polyether part, was studied on the basis of their degree of planarity, their global quantum electronic molecular descriptors and their local electronic proprieties (Fukui indices, Electrostatic molecular potential, Natural population atomic charges, Natural bond orbitals interaction) as well as their deformation capacity to adhere onto the metal surface, by using DFT calculations and Monte- Carlo system dynamics simulation. The proton affinity locating the most favorable site of protonation was evaluated and the competitiveness between neutral and protonated species in vacuo and in aqueous solution was also considered. The molecule 5-MCTH was found more reactive in vacuo and in aqueous phase. Moreover, the Fe-(N9N10)-like interaction involving 5-MCTH was found to be the strongest, in accordance with electrochemical and gravimetric results.
