Growth and Characterization of a Novel Organometallic Nonlinear Optical Crystal:  Bis(Thiourea) Cadmium Formate

Abstract: The growth of a novel organometallic nonlinear optical (NLO) crystal of thiourea complex bis(thiourea) cadmium formate (BTCF) in larger size is reported for the first time by the slow evaporation method. The grown crystal was subjected to single-crystal X-ray diffraction, morphology, optical transmission, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, second harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency test and microhardness studies. The powder SHG efficiency of BTCF is comparable with KDP.

“…Family of metal-organic framework (MOF) compounds based on formate ions has recently received a lot of attention due to their interesting and potentially useful physicochemical properties such as ferroelectricity, 1 magnetic ordering 2 (or coexistence of magnetic and electric order in the same phase known as multiferroicity 1,[3][4][5] ) and nonlinear optical properties, 6 among others. These properties may be tuned due to the huge number of possible combinations of organic cations (mainly alkylammonium cations) with metal cations and another small anions (called linkers), capable to coordinate strongly metal ions and form the network of hydrogen bonds with the ammonium and alkylammonium cations, e.g.…”

“…In recent years, there are many thiourea based materials are reported with high second harmonic efficiency (SHG) than the commercial material potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP). The SHG efficiency of reported materials are bis(thiourea) ammonium nitrate (1.52 times > KDP) [3], bis(thiourea) cadmium formate (2 times > KDP) [20], bis(thiourea) zinc acetate (2 times > KDP) [21], bis(thiurea) zinc chloride (1.75 times > KDP) [22] and bis(thiourea) strontium chloride (BTSC) (1.54 times > KDP) [23].…”
