Abstract: The study of the effectiveness of several potential copper corrosion inhibitors in acidic media was studied. The investigated thiazole derivative functional groups contain heterocyclic atoms such as nitrogen, sulfur, and oxygen. Thiazole derivatives, 5-benzylidene-2,4-dioxotetrahydro-1,3-thiazole (BDT) 5-(4¢-isopropylbenzylidene)-2,4-dioxotetrahydro-1,3-thiazole (IPBDT), 5-(3¢-thenylidene)-2,4-dioxotetrahydro-1,3-thiazole (TDT), and 5-(3¢,4¢-dimetoxybenzylidene)-2,4-dioxotetrahydro-1,3-thiazole (MBDT) were tested for copper corrosion inhibition properties. The electrolyte solution was 0.1 M Na2SO4.

In situ information on corrosion and inhibition processes can be obtained using different techniques. Electrochemical measurements (EIS), in situ scanning probe microscopy (SPM), in addition to quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) measurements were applied. Those methods are very useful owing to their high sensitivity and resolution. Dynamic STM and AFM measurements on Cu(111) single-crystal electrode with and without the addition of some inhibitors were performed.

The presence of the isopropyl group in the case of IPBDT produced far better protection against copper corrosion in acidic sulfate-containing media than the rest of the derivatives.
