Revisiting halogenated corrosion inhibitors: uncovering the hidden role of halogen bonding beyond resonance, inductive and polarizability effects

Halogenated organic compounds are widely recognized as potential aqueous-phase corrosion inhibitors; however, their inhibition potential has traditionally been described primarily in terms of resonance (+R), inductive (−I), and polarizability effects. This perspective overlooks a largely unexplored...
