“…At the same time, Schiff bases have been investigated as corrosion inhibitors for steel, copper, and zinc. Due to the presence of amine double bond, the Schiff bases can form stable complexes which are closely packed in the coordination sphere of metal ions for corrosion inhibition [38][39][40]. As a derivative of Schiff bases, acylhydrazone compounds can act as ditopic ligands, and show the potential to form multi-adsorption structures with metal atoms [41,42].…”
