Abstract
Vidushi Vithana studied the corrosion inhibition properties of rare earth carboxylate complexes on mild steel. Her findings highlight their superior performance compared to alkali metal analogues, with structure-activity relationships demonstrating how molecular features influence corrosion mitigation efficiency and guiding the design of more advanced inhibitors.
