Abstract

AbstractSingle crystals of a novel organic material, 4‐Chloro‐3‐Nitrobenzophenone (4C3N) were grown from acetone solution employing the technique of controlled evaporation. 4C3N belongs to the Orthorhombic system, with a = 12.9665(11) Å, b = 7.4388(6) Å, c = 24.336(2) Å, α = β = γ = 90°. FT‐IR study has been performed to identify the functional groups. The transmittance of 4C3N has been used to calculate the refractive index n; the extinction coefficient K and both the real εr and imaginary εi components of the dielectric constant as functions of photon energy. The optical band gap of 4C3N is 2.7 eV. Thermo gravimetric analysis and differential thermal analysis have also been carried out, and the thermal behavior of 4C3N crystal has been studied. The mechanical properties have been investigated. (© 2009 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
