Abstract

Correction for ‘Inhibition of mild steel corrosion in hydrochloric acid using two novel pyridine Schiff base derivatives: a comparative study of experimental and theoretical results’ by Yue Meng et al., RSC Adv., 2017, 7, 43014–43029.

8‐Hydroxyquinoline‐functionalized chitosan Schiff base as an efficient and environmentally friendly corrosion inhibitor for N80 steel in acidic environments

“…As seen in Table 4, χ of the two corrosion inhibitor molecules obeys the following law: CTSB < HQ‐CTSB, which is consistent with the E LUMO trend. Typically, Δ N is a measurement of the electron transfer between the molecule and the metal 47 . When Δ N < 3.6, the contribution of electrons to the metal surface enhances the effectiveness of corrosion inhibition.…”

Facile synthesis of a nano titanium catalyst and its performance in selective oxidation of aromatic and pyridinic alcohols under visible light

“…Surprisingly, the prepared catalyst exhibits high efficiency and activity for photocatalytic oxidation of functionalized alcohol substrates under exposure to visible blue light (Scheme 1d). Many functionalized aromatic alcohol substrates including pyridinol compounds, which are important raw materials and widely used in pharmaceutical intermediates, pharmaceutical products, and pesticide chemicals, 35–39 are well tolerated under mild reaction conditions. Through characterization and result analysis, we confirmed that TiO 2 adsorption of benzyl alcohol to form surface complexes is the key to achieving visible light response, and the high specific surface area of TiO 2 is the key to achieving high catalytic activity.…”
