The quantum chemical parameters/descriptors, namely, dipole moment (D), highest occupied molecular orbital energy (EHOMO), lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy (ELUMO), HOMO-LUMO energy gap (ΔE), absolute electronegativity (X), absolute hardness (η), softness (σ), proton affinity (PA), electrophilicity (ω) and nucleophilicity (ε) were calculated and correlated with the experimental inhibition efficiencies (%IE). It was observed that the theoretical and experimental results were in good agreement.trueCorrosion | Fe B Si glassy alloy 78 13 9 | Inhibitors | Organic molecules | Theoretical studyQuantum chemical studies on the corrosion inhibition of Fe<inf>78</inf>B<inf>13</inf>Si<inf>9</inf> glassy alloy in Na<inf>2</inf>SO<inf>4</inf> solution of some thiosemicarbazone derivativesArticle10.20964/2018.08.742-s2.0-85072229300
