Abstract

This study involves the synthesis of some porphyrins derivatives, these are termed as 4,4',4'',4'''-(porphyrin-5,10,15,20-tetrayl)tetrakis(N-(6-aminoacridin-3-yl)benzamide) (3a), 4,4',4'',4'''-(porphyrin-5,10,15,20-tetrayl)tetrakis(N-(5-methoxybenzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)benzamide) (3b), 4,4'-(10,20-bis(3-hydroxyphenyl)porphyrin-5,15-diyl)bis(N-(6-aminoacridin-3yl)benzamide) (5a), and 4,4'-(10,20-bis(3-hydroxyphenyl)porphyrin-5,15-diyl)bis(N-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)benzamide) (5b). These derivatives were synthesized using open circuit potential (OCP) and potentiodynamic polarization (PDP) in 0.1 M HCl solution methods. These derivatives were characterized using nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H- and ¹³C-NMR) spectroscopy, mass spectra (ESI), and micro elemental analysis (CHN). The activity of these synthesized materials was investigated as a corrosion inhibitor using carbon steel (CS) as a model for corroded materials. The obtained results showed that the synthesized porphyrins derivatives were effective corrosion inhibitors to 0.1 M HCl solution for CS. In the case of the derivative 3a, a maximum inhibition efficiency (IE%) was recorded and it was around 74%. The derivative 3b showed an IE% of around 68.11%, while the %IE of 5a and 5b were around 18.98% and 45.16%, respectively. The best IE% value that was recorded for the derivative 3a has the potential to be effective anticorrosive coatings for industrial applications and act as mixture inhibitor because their ΔE_corr values are less than 85 mV. On the CS surface following treatment with compound 3a, the inhibitor mechanism for acidic medium (HCl) was investigated.
