“…Therefore, in all operations involving acidic solutions, equipment must be strictly protected. Although complete prevention of corrosion is impossible, it can be controlled using effective corrosion inhibitors (CIs). − CIs are chemical compounds that reduce the corrosion rate of metals at low concentrations when they are added to corrosive environments. They can be used in transportation, construction, energy, and industries owing to their economic efficiency and strong versatility. , Heteroatoms (such as N, O, P, and S), heterocycles, multiple bonds, and aromatic rings are the most important electron-rich groups in the structure of organic CIs that cause the adsorption of their molecules on the surface of metal and protect it against corrosive species in the medium. ,− In other words, the replacement of CIs with water molecules on the metal surface leads to the blocking of active sites for redox reactions and thus inhibits the transfer of water and corrosive ions on the metal surface. , The molecular properties of CI molecules, such as steric factors, aromaticity, chain length, functional groups, electronic structures, cross-linking ability, and solubility have a significant impact on their adsorption behavior .…”
