dc.description.abstractThe reaction of 2-aminopyridine with mercaptoacetic acid was carried out in a benzene solution at a molar ratio of the initial components of 1:1. The thiylated reaction of p-bromoacetophenone with mercaptoacetic acid was carried out in a benzene solution, with a molar ratio of the initial components of 1:4. As a result, new compounds were obtained: 2-aminopyridin-1-ium-2,2 '-disulfanediyldiacetate (ASA) and 1,1-bis-(carboxymethylthio)-1-p-bromophenylethane (BSA). The structure of the newly synthesized compounds was confirmed by using single crystal XRD technique. The structure of ASA is a salt in which there exist two cations and one dianion in the asymmetric unit. The cations and dianions are interlinked by N-H & sdot;& sdot;& sdot;O and C-H & sdot;& sdot;& sdot;O bonding and further stabilization of the crystal packing is due to weak pi & sdot;& sdot;& sdot;pi and C-O & sdot;& sdot;& sdot;pi interactions. In second compound BSA, molecules are interlinked in the form of dimers through O-H & sdot;& sdot;& sdot;O bonding to complete two R22(8) loops and consecutive dimers are connected by C-H & sdot;& sdot;& sdot;Br bonding. Hirshfeld surface analysis is carried out for the exploration of the molecular interactions in terms of interatomic contacts. The theoretical investigation of two related organic compounds, ASA and BSA, using density functional theory (DFT) and related computational tools to evaluate their structural, electronic, and intermolecular interaction properties. Optimized geometries, frontier molecular orbitals (HOMO-LUMO), electrostatic potential (ESP) maps, and dipole moments were obtained using the B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) level of theory. The analysis of electron localization function (ELF), reduced density gradient (RDG), and topological parameters (via QTAIM) provided insights into electron density distribution, hydrogen bonding, and interaction strengths within the molecules. Hirshfeld surface analysis was performed using Crystal Explorer to explore intermolecular interactions and visualize contact contributions in the crystal state. The findings suggest that ASA, with its higher dipole moment, lower energy gap, and stronger electrophilic nature, exhibits superior potential as a corrosion inhibitor compared to BSA.
