“…For the second mechanism, examples are corrosion inhibitors containing carboxyl groups (such as nicotinic acid, [122] 3NiSA, [37,39,121] and oleic acid, [96,97] ) and hydroxyl groups (tannic acid [95,102] and 1-diphosphonic acid [99] ) that can be deprotonated in basic corrosive environments to form negatively charged molecules, which chelated with metal ions at corroded surfaces to produce protective layers. Finally, organic corrosion inhibitors with sulfur, oxygen, or nitrogen heterocyclic structure (such as tryptamine, [50,52] 8-HQ, [51,89,90,115,116,146] MBT, [53,101,108,119,121,136] MBI, [97,136] BTA, [79,93,98,100,102,103,107,[110][111][112][113]122,123,136,150,172] and 2,5dimercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole) [134] provide self-healing ability via physi-or chemisorption on corroded metal surfaces to form anticorrosive thin films through electrostatic interactions or coordination complexes Similarly, organic corrosion inhibitors containing heteroatoms (nitrogen, sulf...…”
