J. Handley et al., OLATO)TETRAKIS-(2,4-PENTANEDIONATO)PENTACOPPER(II) - A MODEL FOR CORROSION INHIBITION, Angewandte Chemie, International Edition in English, 32(7), 1993, pp. 1036-1038
Each benzotriazolato (bta) ligand is bound to three copper(II) ions in
the penta-nuclear title complex. The known copper corrosion inhibitor
, Hbta, might bind similarly to two metal atoms on the surface to be p
rotected and one metal atom of the underlying layer. Results of molecu
lar modeling studies suggest that the optimal interaction of bta- with
the surfaces of Cu2O and CuO occurs for an orientation perpendicular
to the (110) surface.
