Growth and characterization of a new nonlinear optical semiorganic lithium paranitrophenolate trihydrate (NO2–C6H4–OLi·3H2O) single crystal

Studies on the growth aspects and characterization of sodium para-nitro phenolate single crystals for nonlinear optical applications

“…5a. All the grown crystal have UV cutoff below 500 nm and above which the grown crystal is transparent in the entire visible range of the spectrum which has good agreement with the literature [4,5]. So, the grown crystals are useful for optoelectronic applications and the second harmonic generation (frequency conversion) from the Nd:YAG Laser.…”

“…Para nitro phenol was identified as potential organic material which gives variety of derivatives with alkali metal hydroxides [4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. Single crystals of potassium para nitrophenolate dihydrate have been grown and some new bonding properties have been reported by Boaz et al [4]. Lithium para nitrophenolate trihydrate crystal has been reported by same authors and studied the properties to some extent [5].…”

“…Since the semi organic single crystals possess the good properties of both organic and inorganic crystals, scientists and researchers focused their interest in growing variety of semi organic single crystals [1][2][3]. Para nitro phenol was identified as potential organic material which gives variety of derivatives with alkali metal hydroxides [4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. Single crystals of potassium para nitrophenolate dihydrate have been grown and some new bonding properties have been reported by Boaz et al [4].…”

Vibrational spectroscopic studies of Lithium para nitrophenolate trihydrate single crystal suitable for NLO applications

“…In fact, considerable efforts have been made to Page 3 of 17 A c c e p t e d M a n u s c r i p t 3 combine paranitrophenol with various interesting inorganic matrices to produce materials having a non-centro-symmetric cell, large polarizability and a strong non-linear optical coefficient [4][5][6]. Lithium paranitrophenolate trihydrate, hereafter referred to as LPT is one such semi organic material wherein the organic ligand (nitrophenoxy ion) is ionically bonded to the metal ion lithium along with the intermolecular hydrogen bonding imparting higher stability [6][7]. In this work, the molecular structure of LPT is analyzed by employing FTIR, FT-Raman and FT-NMR spectroscopic techniques.…”

Alkali P-Nitrophenolates for Short Wavelength Laser Generation

“…It has often been found that such structures, when packed as crystals tend to be centrosymmetric, thus leading to macroscopically vanishing dipole moment. However, when it reacts with the bases, the resulting compound is acidic with a non-vanishing dipole moment for the donor-acceptor -conjugate systems [2,3]. The life time of an optical device (electro-optic modulators, parametric oscillator, etc.)…”
