Abstract

The corrosion inhibition property of Schiff bases of isatin namely 3-(4-(3-phenylallylideneamino) phenylimino)indolin-2-one (PI) and 3-(4-(4-methoxybenzylideneamino)phenylimino)indolin-2-one (MI) has studied in 20% \H2SO4\ for mild steel using gravimetric, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), potentiodynamic polarization (Tafel), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques and quantum chemical calculation. Inhibitors adsorption takes place by obeying Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Potentiodynamic polarization measurements showed that inhibitors acted as a mixed type but cathodically dominant.
