1 SUPPLEMENTARY DATA 1.3 Small organic molecules as corrosion inhibitors
Molecular Ionization and Deprotonation Energies as Indicators ofFunctional Coating Performance
Michael Breedon,∗ Manolo C. Per, Ivan S. Cole, and Amanda S. Barnard
1 Supplementary Data
1.1 Experimental determination of corrosioninhibition efficacy
For comparison with experimentally determined corrosion in-hibition efficacy, the results from Harvey et al. are presentedalongside the calculated values. Within the Harvey data setcorrosion inhibition efficacy is referenced against the industrialchromate standard, with the inhibitor efficiencies calculated us-ing the weight loss of the respective alloys in 0.1 M NaCl as abaseline as defined in reference1:
I% =w−w′
w×100 (1)
where, I% is the inhibitor efficiency (%); w is weight loss ofpanels after 4 weeks immersion in 0.1 M NaCl solution alone;and w′ is the weight loss of panels after 4 weeks immersionin 0.1 M NaCl + 1 mM inhibitor. Thus a compound with 0%inhibitor efficiency would show the same degree of corrosionas 0.1 M NaCl; and the inhibitor would be considered to be100% efficient if the mass loss was equivalent to the chromatestandard. Conversely, compounds with negative experimentalinhibition efficacy act as a corrosion accelerator rather than asan inhibitor.
1.2 Basis set dependenceBefore analysing the entire set, we first examine the uncer-tainties associated with the computational method using threemolecules with experimentally determined IP values (Thiophe-nol, Pyridine, 2-mercaptobenzothiazole). It is clear from Table1, that the calculated molecular IP values of thiophenol, pyri-dine and 2-mercaptobenzothiazole are basis set choice depen-dant. Minimal basis sets such as STO-3G seriously underes-timate molecular IP, and also, to a lesser extent, the SIESTADZP basis set; which lacks diffuse functions. It can be summa-rized from these results that the choice of basis set does affectmolecular IP, and that introducing polarization and/or diffusefunctions, can improve the numerical prediction of molecularIP. While the 6-311++G basis set does provide closely match-ing molecular IP energies for thiophenol and pyridine, it fails toaccurately predict the molecular IP of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole(2-MBT). Considering that the 6-311++G** basis set gives re-sults within a few percent of the experimental values for the

sub-set of molecules examined, it was selected for all futurecalculations.
Thiophenol and pyridine molecular IPs as calculated bySIESTA were within 11% of the NIST (eval) reference en-ergy, Gaussian (6-311++G**) results were significantly moreaccurate, <3% of the reference energy. It can be general-ized from the data, that with the exception of molecule 4-mercaptobenzoate, that SIESTA consistently underestimatesmolecular IP, as expected of a minimal basis set. This under-estimation may also be related to the use of pseudopotentialsin SIESTA calculations, c.f. Gaussian09 (all electron) calcula-tions.
1.3 Small organic molecules as corrosion in-hibitors
The contextual use of five selected corrosion inhibitor candi-date molecules, along with their presented optimised geome-tries are presented below.
Molecule 1H, Thiophenol also known as benzenethiol

(C6H6S), is a small organic molecule which has been reportedto protect iron surfaces in an acidic medium3. On AA-2024-T3it has been experimentally determined to exhibit similar corro-sion inhibition to chromate1 and is an effective AA-2024-T3corrosion inhibitor, featuring only a thiol functional group.
Molecule 1I, Pyridine (C5H5N), is commonly used as anorganic solvent and is an excellent example of a terrible AA-2024-T3 corrosion inhibitor, however, as an ubiquitous organicsolvent a wealth of experimental data is available for compari-son, hence its inclusion. This is an excellent example of a lowmolecular weight molecule which is also a heterocyclic com-pound, and has been reported to actually accelerate corrosionfor some alloy formulations1.
Molecule 2B, Benzotriazole (C6H5N3), has been reported asa very effective corrosion inhibitor on a variety of materials in-cluding AA-2024-T31, AA-7075-T61, and Cu4. It is a classicexample of an N containing heterocyclic compound. It alsofinds utility as an additive in aircraft deicing and for protect-ing silverware during dishwashing, however it and some of itsderivatives have been identified as being toxic to aquatic life5.
Molecule 1C, Diethyl(dithiocarbamate) (C5H10NS2), iscommonly used as a copper chelating agent when prepared as asodium salt6 and has been reported to exhibit almost equivalentcorrosion inhibition on both AA-2024-T3 and AA-7075-T6 al-loys1. It has established inhibition properties on cold rolledsteel7, copper8, and brass9. This molecule is an example of acorrosion inhibitor which is a well established copper chelatingagent, and incidently occupies a relatively large volume givenits molecular weight.
Molecule 1W, Mercaptopropionate (C3H5O2S), was recentlyidentified as an equivalent corrosion inhibitor to the chromatestandard when assessed via mass loss measurement on AA-2024-T31. Within the calculated data set, this molecule isunusual as it features both a carboxylate and thiol functionalgroups in a linear conformation.
For these five inhibitor molecules their respective geometry,calculated bond angles and lengths are presented in Figure 1.Here, experimental bond lengths and angles were directly com-pared wherever possible, however in some instances where un-available. Such values were obtained from analogue molecules,and are denoted by an asterisk eg. thiophenol ΘCCC was takenfrom the corresponding angle in nitrobenzene. As can be seenfrom Figure 1, the bond lengths and angles of molecules 1H,1I, 1C, 1W and 2B are in good agreement with experimentalvalues10.
