Crystal Structure Studies and Thermal Characterization of Novel 4-Hydroxychalcone Derivative

Abstract

Abstract:The derivatives of 4-hydroxychalcones were synthesized and characterized by infrared and 1 H NMR spectral studies. The grown crystal was further characterized by single crystal x-ray diffraction studies. The crystal structure of (2E)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1-phenylprop-2-en-1-one was determined using single crystal x-ray diffraction. The compound crystallizes in orthorhombic crystal class in the space group P2 1 2 1 2 1 with cell parameters a=5.3738(4) Å, b=12.9239(10) Å, c=17.1310(14) Å, Z=4 and V= 1189.76 Å 3 . The conjugated compound is slightly twisted with a dihedral angle of 25.00° between the benzene and hydroxyphenyl ring. Differential scanning calorimetric studies shows that the crystal is stable up to 186 o C.

Growth, Characterization and Molecular Hyperpolarizabilities of Novel Nonlinear Optical Chalcone Crystals

“…Moreover, these types of compounds can easily be grown into bulk crystals using cheap organic solvents at ambient conditions. Most of the chalcone derivatives have good transparency and oxidative stability 8,9 . Recently, we found that presence of bromo substituent and sulfur atom especially in the form of thiophene ring is useful in getting good quality single crystals 5,6 .…”
