Fluorocarbon-hydrocarbon hybrid cationic surfactants possess unique performance because they combine the characteristics of fluorocarbon and hydrocarbon surfactants, however, their potential as metal corrosion inhibitors has not been addressed. Here, two hybrid cationic surfactants (F4H6 and F6H6) were synthesized using perfluorobutylsulfonyl and perfluorohexylsulfonyl chains, respectively, through a cationic bridge of N-benzyl-N',N'-dimethyl ethylenediamine, to connect with a hexyl group as the hydrocarbon chain. Both F4H6 and F6H6 exhibited low critical micelle concentrations as 1.81 x 10(-3...
