Description
Summary:The title compound of iminodiacetic acid hydrochloride (IDAAMHCL) has been successfully synthesized by adopting conventional chemical reaction and the single crystals have been grown by solvent evaporation method at room temperature and studied its various properties and reported for the first time. The lattice dimension and the crystal structure were identified from the powder X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystalline perfection assessed by high resolution X-ray diffraction technique shows that the specimen is free from structural grain boundaries. The presence of functional groups and the protons in IDAAMHCl was confirmed by Fourier transform infra-red and NMR ( 1 H and 13 C) spectroscopic techniques. The presence of carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen was confirmed by elemental analysis. The optical behavior of IDAAMHCl was assessed by UV-visible spectroscopy and it is found that there is no absorption in the entire visible region of the spectrum. The Z scan measurements at 532 nm with 5 ns laser pulses show that IDAAMHCL is a very good candidate for optical limiting applications.
