The inhibitory effect of the new synthesized bipyrazolic compound 1,3-Bis(3
,5-dichloromethylpyrazolyl) propane (BDCMPP) on the corrosion of Armco Iron
in 1M HCl medium has been studied by weight loss, electrochemical polarisa
tion and impedance studies. The maximum inhibition efficiency reached was a
bout 90% at 10(-3)M. The inhibition effect is caused by geometrically block
ing the surface of iron by adsorbed inhibitive molecules which follow an S-
shaped adsorption isotherm.
