Abstract:. A good optical quality crystal of 2-aminopyridine (2AP) metal complex crystals was grown by slow evaporation technique at room temperature. The transparent and defect less bulk size of 2-aminopyridine potassium dihydrogen orthophosphate metal complex crystals have been grown by solution growth method. The molecular structure and morphology of grown crystals was drawn and planes are indexed using WINXMORPH software. A optical absorption spectrum, the UV cut-off wavelength, Band gap (Eg), Reflectance (R), Refractive Index (n), Extinction coefficient (K) and Electrical susceptibility (χc) are calculated for 2AP metal complex crystals.Keywords:Synthesis; Crystal growth; Optical band gap; electrical susceptibility
1.IntroductionOptical materials with many significant achievements have occurred in the field of nonlinear optics because of the development of laser technology and new nonlinear optical materials of both inorganic and organic types [1,2]. Second order nonlinear optical (SONLO) materials are proved to be interesting candidates for number A good optical quality crystal of 2-aminopyridine (2AP) metal complex crystals was grown by slow evaporation technique at room temperature.

Purely inorganic materials typically have excellent mechanical and thermal properties with relatively modest optical nonlinearities because of lack of π-electron delocalization [8].Aminopyridine ligandcomplexes are class of compounds well known for a long time [9]. In recent years metal organic complexes have attracted considerable attention owing to their application in second and third harmonic generation, optical bistability, laser remote sensing, optical data storage, laser driven fusion, medical and spectroscopic image processing, color display and optical communication [10][11][12]. The major limitations in organic nonlinear optical (NLO) devices are Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 12
