The main and most ultimate aim of this investigation is to assess the role of the 1,3-bis(((E)2nitrobenzylidene)amino)propan-2-ol (PZ₁) on the degradation of carbon steel (CS) subjected to 1 M HCl medium. A number of techniques are involved; including impedance spectroscopy (EIS), potentiodynamic polarization (PDP), UV-vis, analysis of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled with energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were used to assess the efficacy of PZ₁ with regard to corrosion inhibition. The electrochemical tests show that with the PZ₁ in the HCl medium reduces the rate of degradation of the material in question; this decrease is considerable as we increase the level of the inhibitor in terms of concentration (10^-6 to 10^-3 M). Inhibitory efficacy () culminates at 96.2 % for 10^-3 M PZ₁.
