Caprylate Salts Based on Amines as Volatile Corrosion Inhibitors for Metallic Zinc: Theoretical and Experimental Studies.

ABSTRACT: The interaction of volatile corrosion inhibitors (VCI), caprylate salt derivatives from amines, with zinc metallic surfaces is assessed by density functional theory (DFT) computer simulations, electrochemical impedance (EIS) measurements and humid chamber tests. The results obtained by the different methods were compared, and linear correlations were obtained between theoretical and experimental data. The correlations between experimental and theoretical results showed that the molecular size is the determining factor in the inhibition efficiency. The models used and experimental results indicated that dicyclohexylamine caprylate is the most efficient inhibitor.

Project description:We have synthesized CuO nanostructures with flake, dandelion-microsphere, and short-ribbon shapes using solution-phase methods and have evaluated their structure-performance relationship in the heterogeneous catalysis of liquid-phase oxidative coupling reactions. The formation of nanostructures and the morphological evolution were confirmed by transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, elemental mapping analysis, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. CuO nanostructures with different morphologies were tested for the catalytic oxidative coupling of aromatic amines to imines under solvent-free conditions. We found that the flake-shaped CuO nanostructures exhibited superior catalytic efficiency compared to that of the dandelion- and short-ribbon-shaped CuO nanostructures. We also performed extensive density functional theory (DFT) calculations to gain atomic-level insight into the intriguing reactivity trends observed for the different CuO nanostructures. Our DFT calculations provided for the first time a detailed and comprehensive view of the oxidative coupling reaction of benzylamine over CuO, which yields N-benzylidene-1-phenylmethanamine as the major product. CuO(111) is identified as the reactive surface; the specific arrangement of coordinatively unsaturated Cu and O sites on the most stable CuO(111) surface allows N-H and C-H bond-activation reactions to proceed with low-energy barriers. The high catalytic activity of the flake-shaped CuO nanostructure can be attributed to the greatest exposure of the active CuO(111) facets. Our finding sheds light on the prospective utility of inexpensive CuO nanostructured catalysts with different morphologies in performing solvent-free oxidative coupling of aromatic amines to obtain biologically and pharmaceutically important imine derivatives with high selectivity.

Project description:Cytosine, a DNA and RNA building-block, and Metformin, the most widely prescribed drug for the treatment of Type 2 Diabetes mellitus were made to react separately with ammonium or sodium metavanadates in acidic aqueous solutions to obtain two polyoxovanadate salts with a 6:1 ratio of cation-anion. Thus, compounds [HCyt]6[V10O28]·4H2O, 1 and [HMetf]6[V10O28]·6H2O, 2 (where HCyt = Cytosinium cation, [C4H6N3O]+ and HMetf = Metforminium cation, [C4H12N5]+) were obtained and characterized by elemental analysis, single crystal X-ray diffraction, vibrational spectroscopy (IR and Raman), solution 51V-NMR, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA-DTGA), as well as, theoretical methods. Both compounds crystallized in P 1¯ space group with Z' = 1/2, where the anionic charge of the centrosymmetric ion [V10O28]6- is balanced by six Cytosinium and six Metforminium counterions, respectively. Compound 1 is stabilized by π-π stacking interactions coming from the aromatic rings of HCyt cations, as denoted by close contacts of 3.63 Å. On the other hand, guanidinium moieties from the non-planar HMetf in Compound 2 interact with decavanadate μ2-O atoms via N-H···O hydrogen bonds. The vibrational spectroscopic data of both IR and Raman spectra show that the dominant bands in the 1000-450 cm-1 range are due to the symmetric and asymmetric ν(V-O) vibrational modes. In solution, 51V-NMR experiments of both compounds show that polyoxovanadate species are progressively transformed into the monomeric, dimeric and tetrameric oxovanadates. The thermal stability behavior suggests a similar molecular mechanism regarding the loss of water molecules and the decomposition of the organic counterions. Yet, no changes were observed in the TGA range of 540-580°C due to the stability of the [V10O28]6- fragment. Dispersion-corrected density functional theory (DFT-D) calculations were carried out to model the compounds in aqueous phase using a polarized continuum model calculation. Optimized structures were obtained and the main non-covalent interactions were characterized. Biological activities of these compounds are also under investigation. The combination of two therapeutic agents opens up a window toward the generation of potential metalopharmaceuticals with new and exciting pharmacological properties.
