Abstract: The protective effect of seven new isoquinoline derivatives as inhibitors of acid corrosion of low-carbon steel in 1 M hydrochloric acid has been studied. At a temperature of 298 K and a concentration of 0.1 mmol/L, the protective effect of the compounds was found to be 93–98.8% depending on the nature of the substituent. When the temperature increases to 353 K, the efficiency decreases to 80–93%. The compounds studied change the effective activation energy of corrosion, affect the structure of the double electric layer, and block a fraction of the steel surface upon adsorption. The compounds reduce the rates of cathodic and anodic processes. A satisfactory correlation of efficiency with the calculated parameters of molecules obtained within the scope of the density functional theory (DFT) B3LYP/6-311+G(d) has been found. It has been shown that the correlation coefficients of the linear relationships “protective effect – calculated characteristics” decrease with an increase in temperature.
