Crystal growth and characterization of zinc-(amino-tris-(methylenephosphonate)) organic-inorganic hybrid networks and their inhibiting effect on metallic corrosion

The polymeric organic-inorganic hybrid material, Zn[HN(CH2PO3H)3(H2O)3]x, is synthesized and structurally characterized. This material is shown to form by 1:1 Zn2+ and AMP combinations and acts as corrosion inhibitor for carbon steel surfaces.
