The title compound, C33H24N4, was prepared by the reaction of a bifunctional aromatic diamine (4,4′-diaminodiphenylmethane) and an aldehyde (quinoline-2-carboxaldhyde). The molecule consists of two nearly planar (or r.m.s. deviation = 0.017 Å) 4-methyl-N-[(E)-quinolin-2-ylmethylidene]aniline moieties, which are linked by the methylene group. The angle between the mean planes of the two benzene rings connected to the methylene group is 77.86 (11)°.

The title Schiff base compound, C32H22N4O, was prepared by a reaction of 4,4′-diaminodiphenyl ether and 2-quinolinecarboxaldehyde. The molecule consists of two 4-{N-[(E)-quinolin-2-ylmethylidene]amino}phenyl units linked by an oxygen bridge. The dihedral angles between two benzene rings and between the two quinoline ring systems are 53.81 (7) and 42.56 (4)°, respectively. Intermolecular C—H...N hydrogen bonding is present in the crystal structure.

The corrosion inhibition effect of di[(4-phenylimino)-4-diethyl salicylaldehyde] ether (L1) and di[(4-phenylimino)-2,6-diacetyl pyridine] ether (L2) as Schiff bases on carbon steel X48 in 1 M HCl were examined with gravimetric measurement, Tafel polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). It was observed that the two compounds L1 and L2 act as greatly corrosion inhibitors. The potentiodynamic polarization results indicate that they act as anodic and cathodic type. The adsorption of each inhibitor on the mild steel surface obeys Langmuir isotherm. The associated activation parameters together with the thermodynamic data are evaluated and discussed. The characterization of the adsorbed molecules (L1 and L2) formed on the metal surface was carried out by SEM and AFM. The improvement in corrosion resistance was related to the presence of different substituent groups, apparently due to the easiness of the electron acceptance as confirmed by the quantum chemical calculations. Additionally, the molecular dynamic simulations were used to clarify the inhibition mechanism, especially, the adsorption modes and configurations of the studied inhibitor molecules.

{(1Z)-2-oxo-N′-phenyl-N-quinolin-8-ylpropanehydrazonamide (H2L-H) and (1Z)-N′-(4-bromophenyl)-2-oxo-N-quinolin-8-ylpropanehydrazonamide (H2L-Br)} have been studied as corrosion inhibitors of carbon steel in 1 M HCl medium by the weight loss method, potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy EIS, scanning electron microscopy SEM coupled with Energy Dispersion X-Ray Spectroscopy EDS, Atomic Force Microscopy AFM, IR and UV-visible spectroscopy. The inhibition efficacy has been shown to increase with increasing inhibitor concentration. The corrosion of the carbon steel is mainly controlled by a charge transfer process. The temperature effect was evidenced and the thermodynamic parameters were calculated. The adsorption of the inhibitors on the metal surface obeyed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The hydrodynamic effect and the synergetic effect have been implemented. Inhibitory efficiency decreases with increasing rotation speed and the used additives adsorb cooperatively to form a protective layer on the metal surface. The results obtained by the experimental measurements and those of the theoretical calculations (DFT and MD simulation) are in good correlation.

The study of the corrosion inhibition of mild steel in acid medium 1 M HCl by the Schiff base compounds named {4,4′-Bis(pyrrole-2-carboxaldehyde) diphenyl diimino sulfide (L1) and 4,4′-Bis(thiophene-2-carboxaldehyde) diphenyl diimino sulfide (L2)} was carried out using various techniques: weight loss measurements, polarization curves, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), atomic force microscopy (AFM), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The influence of the concentration, immersion time and temperature was examined and the mode of adsorption of these inhibitors on the surface of the metal was highlighted by assigning the appropriate isotherm. The experimental results indicate that these compounds are effective corrosion inhibitors and the inhibitory competence rises with increasing inhibitor concentration. The adsorption of these compounds on the mild steel surface obeys the isotherm of Langmuir. The correlation between the molecular structures and the inhibitory properties of the compounds studied was performed using the Density Functional Theory (DFT) method. Furthermore, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation has been taken into account. The results indicate that the adsorption energy of L1 was less than L2, which is in accordance with the experimentally determined inhibition effect. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
