melting points were measured using Gallan-Kamp equipment and are uncorrected.
TLC was used to assess the purity of the compounds. A Shimadzu 470
IR-spectrophotometer was used to record the infrared (IR) spectra
(KBr). 1H NMR spectra were recorded on a 500 MHz spectrometer
using CDCl3 or DMSO-d6 as a
solvent and tetramethylsilane (TMS) as an internal reference (chemical
shifts were given in ppm (δ) and coupling constants (J values) in Hertz (Hz)). The splitting patterns were designated
as singlet (s), doublet (d), doublet of doublets (dd), triplet (t),
quartet (q), or multiplet (m). The spectra of UV–vis were measured
using a Shimadzu mini1240. The fluorescence emission spectra are performed
at room temperature using a Hitachi F-7100 FL Spectrophotometer. The
Gaussian 09 program is used for quantum chemical calculations34 via the density functional theory method with
the B3LYP functional in a gaseous phase35 (link) and the 6-311++G (d,p) basis set. To conduct open circuit potential
linear and Tafel plot polarization tests in electrochemical studies,
the 352/252 model corrosion measuring technique is utilized in conjunction
with an EG&G potentiostat/galvanostat, model 273A, that operates
on IBM software. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis was performed
at the unit of electronic microscopy (JEOL, JSM5400LV) at Assuit University.
