Bis(2,3-dimeth-oxy-10-oxostrychni-din-ium) phthalate nonahydrate

Crystal structure and hydrogen bonding in the water-stabilized proton-transfer salt brucinium 4-amino-phenyl-arsonate tetra-hydrate

In the structure of the brucinium salt of 4-amino-phenyl-arsonic acid (p-arsanilic acid), systematically 2,3-dimeth-oxy-10-oxostrychnidinium 4-amino-phenyl-ar-son-ate tetra-hydrate, (C23H27N2O4)[As(C6H7N)O2(OH)]·4H2O, the brucinium cations form the characteristic undulating and overlapping head-to-tail layered brucine substructures packed along [010]. The arsanilate anions and the water mol-ecules of solvation are accommodated between the layers and are linked to them through a primary cation N-H⋯O(anion) hydrogen bond, as well as through water O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds to brucinium and arsanilate ions as well as bridging water O-atom acceptors, giving an overall three-dimensional network structure.

Studies on crystal growth, vibrational, optical, thermal and dielectric properties of new organic nonlinear optical crystal: Bis (2,3-dimethoxy-10-oxostrychnidinium) phthalate nonahydrate single crystal

In this paper, we report the synthesis, growth and characterization of a new organic NLO single crystal of Bis (2,3-dimethoxy-10-oxostrychnidinium) phthalate nonahydrate, for the first time. The single crystal XRD study reveals that the crystal belongs to monoclinic system. The molecular structure and the nature of the vibrations were identified by vibrational and NMR spectroscopic studies. The UV absorption edge was found to be 330nm with a wide optical transmittance window covering the visible region. The crystal exhibits physicochemical stability upto 90.56°C. Various thermodynamic parameters were calculated from the TG data. The Kurtz powder second harmonic generation revealed that the SHG efficiency of the grown crystal was about 2.8 times that of KDP and was found to be phase matchable. The measured low value of birefringence indicates its suitability for NLO devices. The PL spectrum exhibited two peaks (355 and 406nm) due to the donation of protons from carboxylic acid to quartenium nitrogen. The dielectric behavior of the grown crystal was analyzed for different frequencies at different temperatures.
