Inhibition performance and adsorption behaviour of Curcumin and Demethoxycurcumin on metals were studied by quantum chemical calculations – a method very valuable in determining molecular structure and to study reactivity of compounds. Quantum chemical methods have become common practice to carry out virtual determinations in corrosion inhibition studies. Quantum chemical parameters such as highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO), lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy levels, HOMO–LUMO energy gap and electronic density are virtually identified. Structure and activity of compounds, including those not yet synthesized, can be readily screened, employing computational methodology with help of set of mathematical equations that are capable of representing accurately the chemical phenomenon under study. Present study elucidates inhibition efficiency of curcumin and its derivative. Research was performed using quantum chemical calculations by means of MOPAC 2016 with PM7 method to find correlation between molecular structure of compound and its behaviour as corrosion inhibitors. Results showed that compounds inhibit corrosion of metals significantly.
