Dual active ionic liquids and organic salts for inhibition of microbially influenced corrosionElectronic supplementary information (ESI) available. See DOI: 10.1039/c2cc32375c

We describe a series of novel compounds designed to combat the bacterial growth that leads to microbially induced corrosion on steel in the marine environment. A synergistic effect of the ionic components in these dual active organic salts is demonstrated.
