Abstract:

The study examined corrosion inhibition of corrosion inhibition of 5-methyl-2H-imidazol-4-carboxaldehyde and 1H-Indole-3-carboxaldehyde on mild steel in acidic medium using weight loss and Density Functional Theory (DFT) methods. DFT calculations were carried out at B3LYP/6-31+G** level of theory in aqueous medium on the molecular structures to describe electronic parameters. The values of thermodynamic parameters such as free energy of adsorption (ΔGºads), adsorption equilibrium constant (Kads), adsorption entropy (ΔSºads), adsorption enthalpy (ΔHºads) and activation energy (Ea) were calculated, analyzed and discussed. The adsorption process on mild steel surface showed that 4-methylimidazol-5-carboxaldehyde and Indole-3-carboxaldehyde obeyed Freundlich and Temkin adsorption isotherms respectively. Also, the molecular parameters associated with inhibition efficiency such as EHOMO, ELUMO, band gap energy (ELUMO- EHOMO), softness (S), electron affinity (EA) and number of electrons transfer were calculated. The higher inhibitory property of 5-methyl-2H-imidazol-4-carboxaldehyde was attributed to the presence of higher number of protonation sites as a result of higher number of nitrogen atoms, increase in number of plane protonated species and higher net charges on the ring atoms.

2-(4-Chloro­phen­yl)-4-[1-(4-chloro­phen­yl)-3-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl]-5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3(2H)-one

The title compound, C(20)H(16)Cl(2)N(4)O, has two mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. The two five-membered rings form a dihedral angle of 54.2 (3)° in one mol-ecule and 56.8 (3)° in the other independent mol-ecule. The amino group of the dihydro-pyrazolone unit of one mol-ecule acts as a hydrogen-bond donor to the carbonyl group of the dihydro-pyrazolone system of the other mol-ecule. The resul...

In the title compound, C(10)H(16)N(2)O·H(2)O, the cyclo-hexane ring is in a chair conformation and its least-squares plane makes a dihedral angle of 53.68 (5)° with the approximately planar pyrazole ring [maximum deviation = 0.034 (1) Å]. Pairs of inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds form inversion dimers between neighbouring pyrazolone mol-ecules, generating R(2) (2)(8) ring motifs. The pyrazo...

In the title compound, C(6)H(10)N(2)O, the 2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrazole ring is approximately planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.013 (1) Å. Pairs of inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link neighboring mol-ecules into dimers, generating R(2) (2)(8) ring motifs. These dimers are further linked into two-dimensional arrays parallel to the bc plane by inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The crysta...

4-Methyl-5-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-3(2H)-one

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(10)H(10)N(2)O, contains two crystallographically independent mol-ecules with similar geometries, which exist in the keto form. The C=O bond lengths are 1.2878 (12) Å in mol-ecule A and 1.2890 (12) Å in mol-ecule B, indicating that the compound undergoes enol-to-keto tautomerism during the crystallization process. In mol-ecule A, the pyrazole ring is ...

The title mol-ecule, C(10)H(9)NO, is almost planar with an r.m.s. deviation for all non-H atoms of 0.0115 Å. In the crystal, mol-ecules are connected through N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into chains running along [021]. The chains are further connected via C-H⋯π inter-actions, forming layers in the bc plane.
