Abstract
Aromatic organic material of P-Chloroanilinium ethanoate (CAE) has been synthesized by condensation process using methanol as a solvent. The synthesized product is allowed to evaporate slowly at room temperature and crystals of cell dimension 25 × 29 × 10 mm 3 were grown. The grown material was subjected to single crystal X-ray diffraction to obtain the cell parameters. The presence of functional groups in the grown material was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared and Fourier transform Raman spectral studies. The UV-VIS absorption spectrum reveals that the material has lower UV cut-off wavelength at 337 nm. Using the Kurtz Perry Powder method, the NLO activity was confirmed. Mechanical strength of the crystal was estimated by Vickers micro hardness test which shows that the material belongs to the soft category. The thermal behavior of the material was investigated by using thermo gravimetric and differential scanning calorimetric analyses.
