Both studies confirmed that BDBEH offers superior anti-corrosion performance, which improves with higher concentrations. According to gravimetric analysis, the BDBEH exhibited an average corrosion protection efficiency (<em>η</em>) of 93.43 % with 2 mM BDBEH at 303.15 K.

The synthesised molecule acted as a mixed corrosion inhibitor supported by potentiodynamic polarisation (PDP) spectra. The thermodynamic and kinetic parameters indicate that the superior anti-corrosion performance of BDBEH is exhibited via a mixed chemisorption-physisorption mechanism.
