What is it about?

Two benzonitrilederivatives, namely 4-(isopentylamino)-3-nitrobenzonitrile(PANB) and 3-amino-4-(isopentylamino)benzonitrile(APAB) have been synthesized and evaluated as corrosion inhibitors for mild steel (MS) in 1 M HCl solution at 303K by gravimetric, potentiodynamic polarization (PDP) curves, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) methods, as well as Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Molecular Dynamic (MD) simulations.

Why is it important?

The outcome of this paper may help towards rational design of new corrosion inhibitors. We are currently working on many organic compounds as corrosion inhibitors. Cited by 5 times (update: 16/02/2019).

Perspectives

Corrosion inhibitors: Many organic compounds have been studied, but too many of the compounds are not subjected for rational design. We contemplate inhibitory action with molecular structure along with cost efficiency of the synthesis. This paper in series of publications involving the use of compounds synthesized which otherwise is discarded as waste. For other papers, please refer; H. Lgaz, K. S. Bhat, R. Salghi, Shubhalaxmi, S.
