Fig. 1: Correlations between the experimental corrosion inhibition efficiency and molecular electronic parameters for a set of organic compounds tested as corrosion inhibitors for copper in saline solution.
From: Molecular modeling applied to corrosion inhibition: a critical review

A significant vertical dispersion of points near 100% inhibition efficiency appeared for all the molecular electronic parameters. This implies that a good inhibitor can present almost any value within a relative broad range. All the details about the molecular electronic parameters, set of organic compounds, and numerical values are reported by ref. 90. Adapted from ref. 90 with authorization.
