Quantum chemical parameters, such as highest occupied molecular orbital energy (EHOMO), lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy (ELUMO), energy gap (?E) were calculated at the B3LYP/6-311G++(d,p) basis set. Although no simple relationship between the inhibition performance and the calculated data could be discerned, the comparison of inactivation rate constants with energetic parameters suggested that microbial effects of the compounds can be explained in terms of their side chain disparities. © 2019 Trans Tech Publications, Switzerlandeninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessBiocideCorrosion inhibitorDensity functional theoryN-hydroxymethyl amino acidA theoretical investigation of some N-hydroxymethyl amino acids as corrosion inhibitors for mild steelConference Object10.4028/www.scientific.net/KEM.800.108800 KEM1081122-s2.0-85070976785Q4
