Description

N-(3-methylphenyl)thiourea is a thiourea molecule with two isomers that have different inhibitor properties. It is used as a corrosion inhibitor in petroleum refineries and other industrial processes. The mechanism of inhibition can be explained by the fact that N-(3-methylphenyl)thiourea molecules bind to the metal surface, where they form hydrogen bonds with other molecules on the surface and inhibit their movement. X-Ray crystallography has been used to determine the molecular structure of N-(3-methylphenyl)thiourea, which has allowed scientists to understand its inhibiting properties. This information has also been used to calculate parameters for corrosion and predict how it will behave at different temperatures.
