Abstract

A compound represented by the following general formula (B1). Further disclosed is a corrosion inhibitor (B) containing one or more selected from the compound represented by the following formula (B1). Further disclosed is a lubricant composition containing an ionic liquid (A) and the corrosion inhibitor (B). The compound and the corrosion inhibitor are excellent in stability in any of a high vacuum, a low-temperature environment, a high-temperature environment, and an ordinary temperature-ordinary pressure environment, and the lubricant composition containing the corrosion inhibitor is excellent in metal corrosion resistance, solubility, and low evaporability. In the general formula (B1), M is an alkali metal and RB11 is an alkylene group having 1 to 19 carbon atoms.
