Novel zinc salts, lead salts and/or calcium salts of carboxylic acids of the general formula ##STR1## where A is a radical of the formula ##STR2## Y is --CO-- or --SO.sub.2 --, X.sup.1 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 -alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 -alkoxy or halogen, X.sup.2 is hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 -alkyl or halogen, X.sup.3 is hydrogen, nitro or halogen, m and n are each 1 or 2, and X.sup.1 may furthermore be hydrogen if A is a radical of the formula (III) or X.sup.3 is nitro or m is 2, in particular the basic salts of (I), are suitable as corrosion inhibitors for coating systems.

Zinc salts, lead salts and/or calcium salts of carboxylic acids and

Novel zinc, lead or zinc/lead salts of carboxylic acids of the formula ##STR1## where Y is --CO-- or --SO.sub.2 --, X is H or --NO.sub.2 and n is 1 or 2. The salts, in particular the basic salts of (I), are useful corrosion-inhibitors for coating systems, especially for aqueous or water-dilutable systems.
