Preparation and Properties of a Novel Nonlinear Optical Crystal: MnHg(SCN)4(H2O)2.2(C3H6CONCH3)

Growth and characterization of diaquatetrakis (thiocyanato) cobalt (II) mercury (II) N-methyl-2-pyrolidone (CMTWMP) single crystals

“…It belongs to tetragonal crystal system with a noncentrosymmetric P4 space group. The obtained cell parameter values of CMTWMP are in good agreement with the reported data [10]. Figs.…”

“…2(a) and (b) show the FTIR transmission spectra of CMTC and CMTWMP, respectively. The main IR spectral data of CMTWMP along with CMTC are summarized in Table 1 [10].…”

“…The metal ligand bonding in organometallics gives rise to the large macroscopic nonlinearities and excellent physicochemical stabilities due to the transfer of electron density between the metal atoms and the conjugated ligand systems [7]. Crystals such as cadmium mercury thiocyanate (CMTC) [1], manganese mercury thiocynate (MMTC) [8], zinc mercury thiocynate (ZCTC) [9] and diaquatetrakis (thiocyanato) manganese (II) mercury (II) N-methyl-2-pyrolidone (MMTWMP) [10] belongs to this category of materials. Though there are detailed reports on CMTC, MMTC, ZCTC and MMTWMP, no systematic study on the physicochemical properties of CMTWMP has been reported.…”

Growth and characterization of organometallic nonlinear optical TMTM single crystals

“…However, the various bands in the NIR region are due to overtones and combinations. The UV cut-off wavelength of TMTM is comparable to MMTWD [7], MMTWMP [8], CMTC [5] and MMTC [9], the other popular NLO crystals belonging to the same category of materials. …”

Synthesis, growth and characterization of nonlinear optical diaqua (thiocyanato) manganese mercury-N,N-dimethylacetamide single crystals

“…Manganese mercury thiocyanate (MMTC) crystal showed better second-harmonic intensity than CMTC and urea crystal [9]. Growth of good-quality bimetallic thiocyanate crystals is more difficult, and hence different additives like dimethylsufoxide (DMSO), dimethylacetamide (DMA), N-methyl pyrrolidone (NMP) and glycol monomethyl ether (GME) were introduced into AB(SCN) 4 , and many new NLO materials were prepared with better NLO efficiency compared to the parent compound [10][11][12].…”
