Versatility of guanidoacetic acid coordination modes and synthesis of its new zinc complex

Inhibitory behaviour and adsorption stability of benzothiazole derivatives as corrosion inhibitors towards galvanised steel

“…The determined adsorption mechanism differs from that of 2-ABT, in which the high basicity of the amino group in 2-ABT is less favourable as the coordination site. 57 Furthermore, as indicated by the simulation results, the H atoms in the NH 2 group of 2-ABT seem to play a repulsive role with the surface supposedly mitigating abstraction of the Zn atom from the surface as compared to 2-MBT.…”
