Single crystals of a new L-Lysine salt: L-Lysinium trifluoroacetate {abbreviated as LLyTFA;+ CF 3 COO -} were grown by slow evaporation of an aqueous solution at room temperature. The grown crystals were subjected to single crystal X-ray diffraction, FTIR and UV-Vis-NIR spectrum analyses. The UV-Vis-NIR spectrum shows that the absorption is very less in the whole of the region from ultraviolet to near IR. The Kurtz-Perry powder SHG measurement using a Nd:YAG laser of wavelength 1064nm confirms the frequency doubling of the crystal and its powder SHG efficiency was measured as d eff = 0.96 d eff (KDP).
The title compound, C6H10N3O2+·BF4−, crystallizes with one histidinium cation and one tetrafluoroborate anion in the asymmetric unit. The protonated cation and the deprotonated anion are linked through a number of intermolecular N—H⋯O and N—H⋯F hydrogen bonds, forming a three‐dimensional network.
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.
