Popis: High corrosion inhibition efficiency of the 2-mercaptobenzimidazole (MBI) molecule for copper in different aqueous solutions is well established. We propose a first principle DFT study of the surface chemistry of the adsorption of MBI on preoxidized Cu(111). For both thione (MBIH) and thiolate (MBI◦) species, the formation of a full monolayer (ML) is favored over low coverage adsorption. At the ML coverage, the molecules adopt a perpendicular orientation with respect to the surface. MBI◦ interaction with the surface is stronger than MBIH one. MBIH and MBI◦ bond to the surface forming a S–Cu bond; for MBIH, the NH moiety forms a H-bond with a surface oxygen atom; for MBI◦, a N–Cu bond is formed. For MBI◦ at low coverage, a Cu–C bond is also formed. The charge analyses show a charge transfer between the surface and the molecule. Comparing the MBIH/MBI◦ adsorption energies with that of water/OH, we find that MBI◦ can replace H2O and OH at the preoxidized Cu surface. The results are compared with those obtained with 2-mercaptobenzothiazole, a similar azole derivative with corrosion inhibition properties.
