Abstract

A possible equation between experimental inhibition efficiencies (IEexp) of corrosion inhibitors and some quantum parameters was sought for some tiazole derivatives in 1 M HCl. Highest occupied molecular energy level (EHOMO), lowest unoccupied molecular energy level (ELUMO), dipole moment (μ), adsorption energy (Eads), energy gap ΔE, surface area of molecule SA, Log of the partition coefficient (AlogP) were correlated to corrosion inhibition efficiency. The results showed that a good agreement was found between IEexp and calculated inhibition efficiencies IEcalc where the correlation coefficients (R2 and R) between IEexp and IEcalc were ranged from 0.857 to 0.967 and 0.926 and 0.974 respectively.
