We propose the concept of T<sub>R95</sub>, which is defined as the temperature at removal ratio of 95%, it is a key indicator to evaluate compounds' complete oxidation. By using Gaussian 09 and Material Studio 7.0, quantum chemical parameters were conducted for each organic compound.

Nearly all the compounds could obtain accurate predictions of their degradation rate. Effective QSAR model exactly reveals three determinant factors, which are directly related to degradation rules. Specifically, the lowest f(+) value of main-chain atoms (f(+)<sub>n</sub>) indicates the degree of affinity for nucleophilic attack. qH shows the ease or complexity of valence-bond breakage of organic molecules. BO<sub>x</sub> refers to the stability of a bond. Coincidentally, the degradation mechanism could reasonably be illustrated from each perspective, providing a deeper insight of universal and propagable oxidation rules.

The synthesized Schiff bases were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and micro-elemental analysis. The inhibition efficiency depends on three factors: the amount of nitrogen in the inhibitor, the inhibitor concentration and the inhibitor molecular weight.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Inhibition efficiencies of 96 and 92% were achieved with BZ4 and BZ3, respectively, at the maximum tested concentration. Density functional theory calculations of BZ3 and BZ4 were performed to compare the effects of hydroxyl and N,N-dimethylamino substituents on the inhibition efficiency, providing insight for designing new molecular structures that exhibit enhanced inhibition efficiencies.</p>","PeriodicalId":9842,"journal":{"name":"Chemistry Central Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1186/s13065-018-0376-7","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"35797897","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
