Data on Z-scan studies and antimicrobial activity of 2-aminopyridine sodium nitrate (2APSN) crystal for higher order optical and pharmaceutical applications

Abstract

Abstract Data in this article briefs on 2-aminopyridine sodium nitrate (2APSN), a nonlinear optical crystal grown successfully by slow evaporation solution growth technique. Single crystal XRD analysis shows that the 2APSN crystal belongs to rhombohedral system and powder XRD confirms the crystalline nature of the grown 2APSN crystal. FTIR analysis of the grown sample identifies the presence of various functional groups. In linear optical study UV cut off wavelength was found to be 387 nm for the grown sample. Powder SHG efficiency of 2APSN crystal shows 0.99 times more than that of standard KDP. The third order nonlinear optical properties were analyzed using Z-scan Technique for 2-aminopyridine sodium nitrate (2APSN) crystal. In-vitro antibacterial test was carriedout for the 2APSN sample using test pathogenic bacteria, to find the in vitro antibacterial activity.
