Retraction of “Electrochemical Adsorption Properties and Inhibition of Brass Corrosion in Natural Seawater by Thiadiazole Derivatives: Experimental and Theoretical Investigation”

Abstract

The editor retracts this article (DOI: 10.1021/ie1016464) since (1) Figure 10(a) (blank) is the same as Figure 8(a) (blank) in J. Solid State Electrochem. (2012) 16:391–402, DOI: 10.1007/s10008-011-1330-y, “Corrosion inhibitive properties and electrochemical adsorption behaviour of some piperidine derivatives on brass in natural sea water”, and (2) Figure 10c (SEM image of AMPTD inhibitor) is visually the same as Figure 8c (DHPOT inhibitor). The editor considers that such actions potentially provide misleading analysis of the experiments, raising doubts about the main findings of the work. As such, the article is being retracted. The original article was published on November 12, 2011, and was retracted on January 31, 2025. This article has not yet been cited by other publications.
