“…Among the compounds proposed as corrosion inhibitors we find: N-containing heterocyclic organic molecules such as imidazole, benzimidazole, bis-benzimidazoles, amine, Schiff base compounds and alkaloids (e.g., papaverine, strychnine, quinine, and nicotine); S-containing compounds that comprise sulphonamides-which possess a large number of functional groups that are potential adsorption centres (-NH 2 group, -SO 2 -NH- group, O and/or N heteroatoms and aromatic rings)-, sulfonates, thiols, and thioaldehydes; O-containing compounds that can include benzoates, aldehydes, indanone derivatives; and finally, P-containing compounds as phosphonate derivatives and heteroatom-containing compounds such as azoles. The studies reveal that the inhibition of corrosion processes is mainly attributed to the formation of donor-acceptor complexes [ 11 , 12 , 18 , 19 , 21 , 24 ].…”
