Growth and characterization studies of an efficient semiorganic NLO single crystal: 2-Amino 5-Nitropyridinium Dihydrogen Phosphate (2A5NPDP) by Sankaranarayanan–Ramasamy method

Abstract

An efficient semiorganic crystal of 2-Amino 5-Nitropyridinium Dihydrogen Phosphate (2A5NPDP) was grown using Sankaranarayanan–Ramasamy method. The presence of functional groups of 2-Amino 5-Nitropyridinium Dihyrogen Phosphate (2A5NPDP) was confirmed by FTIR analysis. Optical quality of the grown crystal was studied by UV–vis NIR analysis. Kurtz powder technique was used for NLO studies of the grown single crystal. The structure of 2-Amino 5-Nitropyridinium Dihydrogen Phosphate (2A5NPDP) was confirmed by single crystal XRD and XRPD analyses. TG/DTA studies revealed that the crystal was thermally stable up to179°C. NMR and laser damage threshold analyses of 2-Amino 5-Nitropyridinium Dihydrogen Phosphate (2A5NPDP) studies also were carried out.
