Abstract :The quantum theoretical calculations were performed to elucidate the corrosion inhibition efficiency of an expired drug. For this purpose, molecular orbital analysis, which is used in the analysis of chemical interactions and gives detailed data about the electronic structure of molecules, was used to gain insight into the electronic properties of the selected drug molecule in neutral and aqueous form. The calculations were carried out at the (B3LYP) 6-311G**(d,p) basis set level utilizing density functional theory (DFT) to examine the relationship between the molecular structure and inhibition efficiency of the corresponding drug molecule. Various quantum chemical descriptors such as highest occupied molecular orbital energy (HOMO), lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy (LUMO), energy gap (ΔE), dipole moment (μ), ionization potential (I), electron affinity (A), electronegativity (χ), hardness (η), softness (σ), back donation (ΔEback- donation) and fraction of electrons transferred (ΔN) were calculated and correlated to the inhibition efficiency. The most probable nucleophilic and electrophilic reactive sites of studied drug molecule were analyzed through computed Fukui indices. Overall, obtained theoretical data indicate that the quantum chemical parameters correlate well with the inhibition performance.
