Description
Summary:The single crystals of 3-aminopyridinium 2,4-dinitrophenolate (APDP) have been synthesized and grown by slow evaporation technique at room temperature. The crystal system was identified and lattice dimensions were measured from the single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SXRD) analysis. UV–visible absorption and transmittance spectra have been recorded in the region between 250 and 1100 nm. The different vibrational modes of the molecule were studied by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic analysis. The decreasing tendency of dielectric constant with increasing frequency was analysed in dielectric study. The polarizability value calculated using Penn analysis well agrees with the value calculated using Clausius–Mossotti equation. The photoconductivity and photoluminescence behaviour were also studied on grown APDP crystal. The mechanical strength of the crystal has been studied using a Vickers’ microhardness test. The stiffness constant and yield strength of the crystal were also calculated from the microhardness test. The third-order nonlinear optical parameters such as refractive index, absorption coefficient and third-order susceptibility were estimated by Z-scan studies.
