Growth, structural, optical, thermal and dielectric properties of a novel semi-organic nonlinear optical crystal: Dichloro-diglycine zinc II

Abstract

Dichloro-diglycine zinc II (DCDGZ II), a semi-organic nonlinear optical material has been synthesized and single crystals were grown from the aqueous solution up to dimensions 20 Â 10 Â 3 mm 3 . The title compound, DCDGZ II (C 4 H 10 Cl 2 N 2 O 4 Zn Á H 2 O) crystallizes into monoclinic structure with the space group of C2/c. The unit-cell parameters were found to be a ¼ 14.4191 (7), b ¼6.9180(2), c ¼12.9452(6) Å and Z¼4. In the crystal structure, DCDGZ II layer is building up alternatingly with layers of water in which the zinc ions lie on a twofold axis. Theoretical calculations for polarizability, which are useful for device fabrication were made using Clausius-Mosotti equation and Penn analysis and the results were compared. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic studies were performed for the identification of the different functional groups presented in the compound. The UV-vis-NIR absorption spectrum reveals that the lower UV cut-off wavelength is 240 nm. The optical band gap of the crystal was estimated as 2.2 eV. The surface morphology, thermal behaviour, dielectric properties have been studied using SEM, TG/DTA and LCR HITESTER analyzer. The nonlinear optical property of the crystal was also confirmed using Kurtz powder technique.

“…SHG materials play essential roles in the fields of optical signal processing, optical limiting systems, parametric oscillators, and data storage . Many traditional SHG materials are inorganic materials, but organic materials are becoming more important as NLO materials. , Organic NLO materials typically are based on noncentrosymmetric, conjugated donor–acceptor molecules. , Biological materials peptides play an increasing role as NLO materials because the intrinsic chirality of the amino acids ensures noncentrosymmetry. , …”
