It is found that 4-BAT functions as more effective inhibitor than other inhibitors. Computational chemistry studies show that derivatives can adsorb on the steel surface by sharing the lone pair electrons of N atoms with iron atoms or by accepting electrons from iron surfaces. Due to its strong interaction with the steel surface in aqueous system, the pyridine segment should be responsible for the higher inhibition efficiency of 4-BAT. © 2012-2018 IMIST.Öğe Anti-corrosion behavior of 2-((3-(2-morpholino ethylamino)-N3-((pyridine-2-yl)methyl)propylimino)methyl)pyridine and its reduced form on Carbon Steel in Hydrochloric Acid solution: Experimental and theoretical studies(Elsevier Science Sa, 2022) Rezaeivala, Majid; Karimi, Saeid; Tuzun, Burak; Sayin, KorayA comparative investigation of the corrosion inhibition of two ligands, 2-((3-(2-morpholinoethylamino)-N3((pyridine-2-yl)methyl) propylimino) methyl)pyridine (SB) and N1-(2-morpholinoethyl)-N1,N3-bis(pyridine-2ylmethyl)propane-1,3-diamine (RSB) for carbon steel in 1.0 M HCl has been carried out. The inhibitor effects on the corrosion behavior of the samples were determined at three different concentrations, 0.1, 1.0 and 2.0 mM. Electrochemical analyses, including corrosion potential and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), were utilized to study the corrosion behavior of carbon steel in inhibitor-free and inhibitor-containing electrolytes. The corrosion potential results showed a gradual increment from-450 to-421 mV vs. Ag/AgCl, in the range of 0.2 -2.0 mM SB concentration. In addition, the corrosion potential of carbon steel in RSB containing solutions is in the range of-439 to-434 mV vs. Ag/AgCl, which results confirm that a higher concentration of SB promotes the inhibition efficiency of samples in 1.0 M HCl solution. The results showed that SB had better inhibition efficiency (around 82.1% at the concentration of 2.0 mM) than RSB. The SB inhibitor exhibited a Langmuir adsorption isotherm, while the adsorption of the RSB did not follow the Langmuir model. EIS studies demonstrated that the addition inhibitors decrease the capacitance of the double layer and increase the resistance of charge transfer. Anticorrosive properties of SB and RSB molecules are examined in detail by using Hartree-Fock (HF) method, Becke, 3-parameter, Lee-Yang-Parr (B3LyP) method, and M062X (highly parameterized, exchange correlation function) methods.Öğe Antiproliferative, antioxidant, computational and electrochemical studies of new azo-containing Schiff base ruthenium(II) complexes(ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY, 2018) Inan, Ayse; Ikiz, Mesut; Tayhan, Secil Erden; Bilgin, Sema; Genc, Nusret; Sayin, Koray; Ceyhan, Gokhan; Kose, Muhammet; Dag, Ayse; Ispir, EsinA new series of ruthenium(II) complexes 7-11 containing the -N=N-group are synthesized and characterized via elemental analysis, and IR, UV-visible and H-1-C-13 NMR spectroscopy.

Different concentrations (0–25 ppm) of HL were added to the test solution and corrosion rate of steel and inhibition efficiency were determined. The obtained results indicated that HL is an efficient steel inhibitor in HCl solution and exhibits the maximum inhibition efficiency of 87.3 % at low concentration of 25 ppm. The EIS measurements revealed that polarization resistance increased from 319 Ωcm2 to 2893 Ωcm2, when the HL concentrations increased from 0 ppm to 25 ppm in HCl solution. Electrochemical experiments revealed that HL acted as a mixed type inhibitor, slowing both cathodic and anodic processes through adsorption which obeyed the Langmuir isotherm. The increase in inhibition efficiency up to 94.6 % with increase in immersion time up to 24 h was observed. Corrosion morphologies were observed by SEM to verify qualitatively the results obtained by electrochemical measurements.

The structure determination revealed that the title compound contains centrosymmetric doubly charged dinuclear oxalato-bridged copper(II) complex cations, nitrate counter ions and water molecules. In this complex, the oxalate ligand is coordinated in a bis-bidentate bridging mode to the copper atoms. Each Cu(II) atom has a distorted tetragonal-bipyramidal environment, being coordinated by two N atoms of a chelating 2,2 '-bipyridine ligand and two O atoms of the doubly deprotonated oxalate anion. Pairs of monodentate nitrate anions and aqua ligands are linked to the metallic cations in an axial position. The H-bonds occurring in the crystal structure result in the formation of 2D supramolecular chains and 3D networks. The Hirshfeld surface analysis of the complex has shown the presence of strong O-H...O and C-H...O hydrogen bonds together with non-classical weak C-H...pi, pi...pi, pi...lp/lp...pi and lp ...lp interactions. Furthermore, the theoretical calculations results are in agreement with the experimental geometric parameters.

The computational investigations of the complex were carried out at B3LYP/6-31 + G (d,p) level in gas phase to support our experimental results. The small energy gap between frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs) manifested that MgNPA is a very reactive, chemically soft and optically active complex. The terahertz time domain spectroscopy of the complex and ligand was performed in order to characterize as well as to find out refractive index and absorption coefficient in 0.2-3.2 THz frequency range. Both the complex and ligand shows the characteristic absorption peaks in this frequency range. The decrease in refractive index is observed by the complexation of NPA with Mg. (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V.
