Abstract

2-Aminoanilinium benzene-1, 2-diaminium tris (4-methylbenzene-1-sulfonate) organic single crystal was grown by slow evaporation solution growth technique at ambient temperature. The grown crystal was subjected to single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies to confirm the crystal structure. The presence of different molecular groups and modes of vibrations was identified by FTIR analysis. UV- visible spectral studies revealed the transparency, lower cut-off wavelength, bandgap energy, optical parameters such as refractive index (n), extinction coefficient (k), optical conductivity, and electrical conductivity. Laser-induced damage threshold was calculated as 3.5 GW/cm2. Mechanical properties of grown crystal were investigated by Vicker’s micro-hardness test. The dielectric measurement at room temperature showed the electrical behavior of the crystal.
