“…A useful strategy is to effectively isolate the metal surface from the corrosive agents, which can be achieved by use of corrosion inhibitors. Several groups of organic compounds, especially those containing polar groups such as nitrogen, sulfur, and oxygen as well as heterocyclics containing conjugated double bonds have been reported to exert inhibitive effects on metal corrosion via adsorption at the metal=corrodent interface (Madkour et al, 1999;Kliskic et al, 2000;Shao et al, 2002;Branzoi et al, 2002;Maayta and Al-Rawashdeh, 2003;Abdallah, 2004;Mehra and Soni, 2004;Benabdellah et al, 2007;Doulami et al, 2004;Anuradha et al, 2008;Migahed and Al-Sabagh, 2009). In this case, the metal acts as an electrophile and the polar functions of the inhibitor molecule act as nucleophiles, with free electron pairs that are readily available for sharing with the metal surface.…”
