This paper examines two novel Gemini cationic surfactants based on thiazole derivatives (TAC) as anticorrosion compounds for carbon steel in 1 M HCl. This task was achieved using a diversity of tools, comprising mass loss (ML), potentiodynamic polarization (PP), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), scanning electron (SEM) microscope, energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and computational density functional (DFT) theory. The shift in corrosion potential revealed the compounds' efficacy as cathodic inhibitors.

Critical micelle concentration and different thermodynamic properties of all surfactants under study were measured using conductivity, density, molal volume, and refractive index techniques. The Critical micelle concentration of TBC 6, TBC 12, and TBC 18 surfactants measured from the different techniques shows an acceptable agreement.

Surfactant structures were confirmed with IR and HNMR Spectroscopies. Critical micelle concentrations for all surfactants in 15% DMSO-Water solvent were measured using conductometric, refractometric, and densitometric techniques.

This study reports new Schiff bases and tetracyclic rings based on a pyridine pharmacophore by two methods: a green approach using CAN and a conventional method. The structure of designed derivatives was confirmed using different spectroscopies (IR and H/C NMR) and elemental analysis.

The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), potentiodynamic polarization (PDP), and weight loss outcomes display the anticorrosion properties of "di-imine- SB". The inhibitory efficiency exceeds 90% at the optimal concentration of 1 × 10 M "di-imine- SB".
