Synthesis, growth, and characterizations of bis-ethylene diammonium diphenolsulfonate monohydrate single crystal: Optoelectronic and antibacterial aspects

Abstract

Bis-Ethylene Diammonium di-Phenolsulfonate monohydrate (EDDSM) single crystal was amalgamated by the process of slow evaporation solution with water and ethanol as blended solvents at room temperature. The synthesized crystal EDDSM structure was resolved by diffraction of X- rays using single crystal technique. The identification of different functional groups, various kinds of carbon atoms as well as protons in the EDDSM crystal were established by13Cand 1H NMR spectra respectively. The optical properties were studied, using optical absorption along with photoluminescence studies. The stability of EDDSM single crystal against temperature and mechanical stress was studied by examining TGA/DTA and Vickers micro hardness respectively. The nonlinear nature of the grown EDDSM was observed and established by ‘Second Harmonic Generation’ (SHG). The antibacterial and antifungal activities of EDDSM was evaluated using Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus mutans, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa whereas Aspergillus niger and Candida albicans. These reported features and characterizations establish the reported compound as a promising crystal.
