S. Ramachandran et al., ATOMISTIC SIMULATIONS OF OLEIC IMIDAZOLINES BOUND TO FERRIC CLUSTERS, The journal of physical chemistry. A, Molecules, spectroscopy, kinetics, environment, & general theory, 101(1), 1997, pp. 83-89
The oleic imidazoline (OI) class of molecules is used extensively for
corrosion inhibitor oil field pipeline applications. However, there is
no model for understanding how they work. As a first step in elucidat
ing this mechanism we carried out quantum mechanical calculations on c
lusters involving Fe3+, H2O, OH, and OI. These calculations are used t
o determine the MS force field for molecular dynamics simulations.
