This study aims to synthesize new chalcone oxime functionalized graphene oxide (CO-GO) and investigate the enhancement in corrosion protection. The morphology and structure of the synthesized CO-GO have been characterized by elemental analysis: Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Moreover, the effectiveness of corrosion inhibition was investigated by utilizing electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization (PDP). The results of the above analyses demonstrate that CO-GO has an outstanding corrosion inhibitor performance of up to 94% and acts as a mixed-type inhibitor with a primarily anodic action. The effect of temperature on a carbon steel surface indicates that the tested composites are chemisorbed. A few techniques were able to provide surface characterization such as scanning electron microscopy and ultraviolet (UV)−visible spectroscopy to confirm inhibitor adsorption on the carbon steel surface.

A new efficient strategy using diphosphate Na2CaP2O7 (DPH) for the synthesis of phenylhydrazone derivatives in solvent‐free media is described. The synthesis of eight variously substituted phenylhydrazone derivatives (3 a to 3 h) can be carried out with a small amount of the catalyst, which can be easily recovered and reused several times without significant loss in catalytic activity. This protocol developed in our study is considered simple, clean, and characterized by short reaction time and high conversion. The antibacterial activity was evaluated for the synthesized compounds against Gram‐positive and Gram‐negative strains. A structure‐activity relationship (SAR) study and the connection between antibacterial activity of the compounds was discussed and showed that electron donating groups increase the antibacterial activity.

A facile and novel synthesis of thirteen 2-amino-3-cyanopyridine derivatives 5(a–m) by a one-pot multicomponent reactions (MCRs) is described for the first time, starting from aromatic aldehydes, malononitrile, methyl ketones, or cyclohexanone and ammonium acetate in the presence of the nanostructured diphosphate Na2CaP2O7 (DIPH) at 80 °C under solvent-free conditions. These compounds were brought into existence in a short period with good to outstanding yields (84–94%). The diphosphate Na2CaP2O7 was synthesized and characterized by different techniques (FT-IR, XRD, SEM, and TEM) and used as an efficient, environmentally friendly, easy-to-handle, harmless, secure, and reusable catalyst. Our study was strengthened by combining five new pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives 6(b, c, g, h, j) by intermolecular cyclization of 2-amino-3-cyanopyridines 5(b, c, g, h, j) with formamide. The synthesized products were characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR and by comparing measured melting points with known values reported in the literature. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry was used to characterize the newly synthesized products and evaluate their purity. The operating conditions were optimized using a model reaction in which the catalyst amount, temperature, time, and solvent effect were evaluated. Antibacterial activity was tested against approved Gram-positive and Gram-negative strains for previously mentioned compounds.
