Growth and characterization of a novel organic NLO crystal: 4 – ethoxy benzaldehyde – n – methyl 4 – stilbazolium tosylate

Abstract

The organic material 4-Ethoxybenzaldehyde-N-methyl 4-Stilbazolium Tosylate (EBST) is a new NLO material and new derivative in Stilbazolium Tosylate family. In this work we synthesized the EBST, the derivative of DAST. By slow evaporation method, we have grown the EBST crystal. Powder XRD confirms the crystalline property, the lattice parameters are calculated from single crystal XRD data and the molecular structure also revealed. The crystal system is found as monoclinic. The crystalline perfection is assessed by the high-resolution X-ray diffractometry. A single and reasonably sharp peak observed in the diffraction curve indicates that the quality of the crystal is quite good without having any internal structural grain boundaries. The FTIR and proton NMR study confirm the presence of functional groups. From the UV -Vis Far IR absorption spectra the good transparency is revealed. The Kurtz Perry SHG test confirms the NLO property of the EBST crystal grown and it is 11 times greater than urea. The melting point of the grown crystal is found to be 237°C from the DSC curve.

“…Absence of absorption in the region between 400 and 876 nm is an advantage as it is the key requirement for materials having NLO properties. [12] The visible region of the spectrum exhibits a high intense transition at 298 nm corresponds to the optical band gap of 4.164 eV. …”
