Abstract
Semi-organic NLO single crystals 2-cyanopyridinium perchlorate (2-CPPC) were successfully grown by the method of slow evaporation of solvent at room temperature (27 °C) by using acetone as a solvent and of dimension 15×12×3mm3. The powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) of the grown crystal has been investigated. The UV–vis study estimates the transmission range, refractive index, extinction coefficient, band gap, and reflectance of the grown 2-CPPC crystal. The fluorescence spectra of the grown crystal were also recorded. The presence of different functional groups and the vibrational modes were confirmed by using FTIR analysis. The crystal's mechanical properties were studied by a Vickers microhardness tester. Single beam Z-scan technique using He–Ne laser is used to study the third-order NLO properties.
