A multi-faceted study combining quantum chemical, Hammett parameters, and antibacterial assessment for imidazole: based green ionic liquids corrosion inhibition

Abstract Stringent environmental regulations drive the quest for green corrosion inhibitors (greenish), with ionic liquids being prime candidates due to their high stability and low volatility and non-flammability. The present work investigates the synthesis, characterization, and corrosion inhibition performance of green ionic liquids based (ILs) on imidazole. The newly synthesized 1-acetyl-3-benzoyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium derivatives (ACIM) , were successfully characterized. Their structures were v
