Their efficiency as inhibitors for iron corrosion were evaluated in two phases, the first is a studying of molecular structure effect and its physic-chemical properties which included the molar refractivity, lipophilicity coefficient(logP),molecular electrostatic potential(MEP), molecular volume, molecule surface area and molecular polarizability(pol). Either second phase comprised studying electronic characteristics of molecules such as energy of the highest occupied molecular orbital EHOMO, the energy of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital ELUMO, ∆EBack−donation , dipole moment (μ), ∆Egap, global softness (σ), global hardness(η), number of transferred electrons(ΔN), global electrophilicity(ω), chemical potential (
