  • Theoretical and experimental prediction of corrosion inhibition efficiency of isatin and its derivatives by DFT calculations and weight loss method – A comparative study
    Jone Celestina Joseph Xavier Raj, Muthumanickam Shenbagapushpam, Arul Vincent, Priyadharsani Shanmugaraj, Chakkaravarthy Raj, Satheesh Rajamohan, Ramasamy Viruthachalam
    Journal of the Serbian Chemical Society, 2026
    The corrosion inhibition performance of isatin and its N1/C5 substituted derivatives were analyzed by DFT calculation (B3LYP, 6311g, dp) in gas phase and solvation method with the help of Gaussian 09W and Gaussian 16. The calculated quantum chemical parameters such as \\mathrm{E_LUMO} , \\mathrm{E_HOMO} , ionization potential (I), electron affinity (A), electronegativity (?), band gap energy (?E), softness (?), hardness (?) and electrophilicity (?), proved that isatin and its derivatives have the tendency to donate the electrons to the surface of metal ion on adsorption. The number of electron transfer (?N) from isatin and its derivatives to iron metal was calculated theoretically and was in following order IX >III >VII >IV >II >V >I >VIII >VI. The experimental studies reveal the same order of inhibition as in theoretical studies. Mulliken?s charge distribution analysis of the same compounds indicates the high negative magnitude on N1 atom. The negative magnitude of N1 atom was altered by substitution in N1 and C-5 position of isatin, which was identified theoretically. Fukui local parameters were also calculated and used in the prediction of the compounds local selectivity.

  • Adsorption and Corrosion Inhibiting Behavior of Black Vitex Nigundo leaf Extract on Mild Steel Corrosion on 1N HCl and 1N H2SO4
    Letters in Applied Nanobioscience, 2024
    The corrosion inhibitory effect of mild steel in both 1N HCl and 1N H2SO4 acid media was investigated in the presence of Black vitex nigundo leaf (BVNL) extract as a green inhibitor. The effect of temperature, time, and inhibitor concentration was studied using the mass loss technique, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and potentiodynamic polarization measurement. The inhibition efficiency of Black vitex nigundo leaf (BVNL) extract increases with an increase in the concentration of the BVNL extract but decreases with temperature. Polarization measurements revealed that the BVNL extract acts as an anodic type inhibitor in acid media. The adsorption of BVNL extract on mild steel obeyed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm for 1N HCl, and the Freundlich adsorption isotherm was fitted for 1N H2SO4 media. The Maximum inhibition efficiency by the BVNL extract (90.55% in HCl and 83.14% in H2SO4) has been observed at a concentration of 0.075 g/l (optimum concentration) at 308 K. Surface studies such as SEM, and FT-IR was also studied to ascertain the corrosion inhibitive property of the plant extract in both acid media. Hence, BVNL extract acts as an eco-friendly and efficient green corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in 1N HCl and 1N H2SO4 acid media.

  • Heterogeneous Cu(I)-SBA-15 Mediated Catalytic Reduction of Substituted Nitroarenes

    Chemistryselect, 2020
    A strategy for heterogeneous copper(I) mesoporous silica [Cu(I)‐SBA‐15] mediated catalytic reduction has been developed for the reduction of various nitroarenes in excellent yields. In addition to alcothermal strategy, other strategies have been attempted for the preparation of Cu(I) substituted mesoporous silica, however, the desired oxidation state is obtained only through alcothermal strategy. The crystalline phases and oxidation state of synthesized materials were characterized by XRD and XPS measurements and tested for catalytic reduction of nitroarenes. Among the tested materials, the best catalytic reduction of nitroarenes with an excellent substrate scope and good catalytic reusability was established by Cu(I)‐SBA‐15 material. The reduction kinetics and the controlled experimental studies reveal that the reaction proceeds through pseudo‐first‐order kinetics and nitrosobenzene intermediate pathway.
