Fourier transform infrared reflection-absorption spectroscopy (FT-IRRAS) is applied to the study of corrosion protection of copper by an organic coating. Poly-N-vinylimidazole (PVI(1)) and poly-4(5)-vinylimidazole (PVI(4)) are demonstrated to be effective new polymeric anti-corrosion agents for copper at elevated temperatures. Oxidation of copper is suppressed even at 4 0 0 C. PVI(1) and PVI(4) are more effective anti-oxidants than the most commonly used corrosion inhibitors, benzotriazole and undecylimidazole, at elevated temperatures. These new polymeric agents are water soluble and easy to treat the metal surface. ˚

Azole compounds such as benzotriazole, benzimidazole, indazole and i m i d a z o l e s a r e e f f i c i e n t a n t i - c o r r o s i o n agents f o r copper and c o p p e r - b a s e alloys [1-10].
