The aqueous extract of Joazeiro stem bark (EJSB) and its high molecular weight fraction (HMWF) were examined as potential corrosion inhibitors of mild steel in 1 mol L−1 hydrochloric acid media, using weight-loss measurements, potentiodynamic polarization curves and an electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS).Varying the concentration of the inhibitors from 100 to 800 mg L−1, the results show an increase in anticorrosive efficiency from 85.4 to 89.8 and 89.8 to 93.0% for EJSB and its HMWF, respectively, using the data of the gravimetric essay, and from 84.5 to 94.5 and 89.9 to 94.7% for EJSB and its HMWF, respectively, from the impedance data. The composition of the crude extract was chemically characterized by liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry. Additionally, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used, respectively, to morphologically and chemically characterize the surface. Considering that the saponin molecules, the main constituent from juá, are responsible for its inhibitory action, quantum chemical calculations showed that the C67, C69 and O144 atoms likely have an important role in the process of electron-donation of saponin to metal, due to the higher values of ƒk+ and %HOMO observed on these atoms.
