This article describes the growth and characterization of 4-sulfobenzenaminium potassium hydrogen phosphate (SPH) sulphanilic acid with potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP) doped semi-organic single crystals. The crystal was grown by the slow evaporation method. Examination of the crystalline nature of the sample was carried out by single crystal X-ray diffraction and it confirmed that the sample crystallizes in orthorhombic structure in the centrosymmetric space group P212121. The optical transmittance behavior was tested by UV-Vis spectral analysis. FT-IR spectral investigations have been carried out to indicate the presence of functional groups. The chemical structure of the compound was established by 1H and 13C NMR spectra. The SHG efficiency of the powdered SPH crystal is around 1.7 times that of pure KDP. The grown crystal was stable up to 270 °C as observed from TGA and DTA curves. The microhardness test was carried out to study the load dependency of hardness. The result of this study indicates that SPH crystal is a malleable material. From the hardness values, the stiffness constant and yield strength were calculated. The dielectric response of the novel crystal was studied in the frequency range of 50 Hz to 5 MHz at various temperatures. By employing FE-SEM, the surface morphology and the particle size of the crystal were assessed.
The organic-inorganic title salt contains a cation with a chair conformation of the piperazine ring and an eclipsed dichromate anion. The entities are linked by N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional network structure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
