The results of this research on the electrochemical behavior of Cu24Zn5Al alloy in a 0.1 mol/dm3 sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) solution containing 1-phenyl-5-mercaptotetrazole (PMT) are presented in this paper. The influence of PMT concentration, chloride ion concentration, and pre-treatment were examined. The influence of pre-treatment was studied in terms of the effect of the immersion time of the electrode in the appropriate inhibitor solution. After selecting the optimal immersion time, its effect on the behavior of the Cu24Zn5Al alloy was tested in a 0.1 mol/dm3 solution of sodium sulfate in the presence of different concentrations of chloride ions. Research shown that with the increase of PMT concentration, the anodic current density around the corrosion potential decreases, indicating that PMT behaves as a corrosion inhibitor for Cu24Zn5Al alloy.

The infrared and Raman spectra of 1-phenyl-5-mercaptotetrazole (PMT) and 1-phenyl-5-mercaptotetrazole sodium salt in the solid state and in solution have been measured. Detailed vibrational assignments of PMT and 1-phenyl-5-mercaptotetrazolate (PMTA) have been performed. In order to give a firmer basis to the interpretation of the vibrational spectra, harmonic wavenumbers of PMT and PMTA have been calculated by means of MP2 and DFT/BPW91 calculations. The DFT calculations provide a satisfactory agreement between the calculated and observed wavenumbers without using scaling factors. Experimental evidence shows that PMT is present in the thione tautomer both in the solid state and in solution of polar solvents. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
