Abstract
The aim of this work is to study the inhibition performance of 2-benzylidene-1-(3-nitro H-imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-2-yl)hydrazine (BNIH) and 2-(2-nitrobenzylidene)-1-(3-nitro H-imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-2-yl)hydrazine (NBIH) for aluminum corrosion in 2M HCl. This study was carried out using experimental methods and theoretical calculations. Mass loss techniques indicate that BNIH has a greater inhibition effect than NBIH, with inhibition efficiencies of 95.78% and 91.56% respectively at 298K and 0.8mM concentration. Adsorption of these compounds on aluminum surface follows Villamil model. This adsorption occurs in two ways: physisorption and chemisorption. Theoretical results obtained from Density Functional Theory (DFT)/B3LYP-6-31G(d,p) and Quantitative Structure-Property Relationship(QSPR) helped to explain the interactions between each inhibitor and aluminum. These interactions justify the results obtained experimentally. Furthermore, this work reported the NO2 substituent effect in an organic compound.
