Green corrosion inhibitors have been designed by understanding the relationships between the structure of organic compounds and toxicity as well as corrosion inhibition efficiency. The estimation of aquatic toxicity as well as corrosion inhibition efficiency are made using QSAR techniques. The predicted structures with reduced toxicity and improved corrosion inhibition efficiency are then tested experimentally for these properties, thus leading to green inhibitors.
