Zusammenfassung:Three novel imidazolium-based gemini surfactants had been synthesized and characterized using different spectroscopic techniques. The surface properties of the synthesized surfactants were determined using surface tension measurements at 20 °C. The surface parameters including critical micelle concentration (CMC), π CMC , Pc 20 , Γ max and A min were determined. The synthesized compounds were evaluated as corrosion inhibitors for carbon steel in 0.5 M HCl solution using the weight loss and polarization techniques. The biological activity of these surfactants was evaluated against sulfate reducing bacteria using most probable number method. The results indicate that the synthesized compounds have good surface properties and are proper corrosion inhibitors for low carbon steel, with a high inhibition efficiency observed around their CMC. These compounds exhibit a significant biocidal activity against sulfate reducing bacteria.
