Ultrathin films of various compounds were prepared on galvanized steel coated with both phytic acid (PA) and diethylene triamine pentamethane phosphonic acid (DETPMPS) self-assembled monolayers (SAM), and in the presence of small amounts of special salt (MnSO4 or Cr(NO3)3). Phytic acid and phytic acid–Mn2+ were modified with dithio-oxamide (DTOA) and 2,3-dimercapto-1-propanol (DMP). Tafel plots and impedance measurements were used. Most investigated conversion coatings of the samples pretreated only in H2SO4/H2O2-mixture, showed that the protective efficiency values (P%) are greater than those of pretreated in both hot alkaline solution and H2SO4/H2O2-mixture.
