Density functional theory analysis on four pyrazine corrosion inhibitors and their adsorption behavior on Cu (111) surface
In order to explore pyrazine inhibition mechanism on copper
adsorption properties of four corrosion inhibitors were studied comparatively. Quantum chemical calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) were used to study reactivity of inhibitor molecules and their adsorption on Cu (111) surface. The results showed that frontier orbitals of these four corrosion inhibitor molecules were all distributed on the pyrazine ring with hetero N atoms as reactive sites. All four molecules could perpendicularly chemisorb on Cu surface by forming covalent bonds through N atom. The order of adsorption energy from high to low was 2-aminopyrazine (AP) > 2-amino-5-bromopyrazine (ABP) > 2-methylpyrazine (MP) > pyrazine (PY). Furthermore
these inhibitor molecules can also physisorb on Cu surface by electrostatic interaction.
