ABSTRACT
Organic non-linear optical materials receive much attention owing to their very large second order nonlinearities, ultra-fast response times and high optical damage thresholds. In the present work, low temperature solution growth technique has been employed to grow non-linear optical hippuric acid (HA) C6H5CONHCH2COOH single crystal with dimensions 10 x 6 x 3 mm3 were obtained in a period of 18 days using acetone as solvent. Powder XRD analysis reveals that the crystal belongs to an orthorhombic system with space group P212121 and lattice parameters were found to be a = 8.8514 脜, b = 9.0842 脜, c = 10.5807 脜. UV optical absorption analysis on these samples reveals the transparency of the crystal in the visible region. The bonding structure and molecular associations due to chemical reactions were analyzed by FTIR spectroscopy.
