Abstract

For the first time, a bulk-size single crystal of piperazinium tetrabromocadmate (II) monohydrate was grown at ambient temperature utilizing the slow evaporation solution growth approach. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed the monoclinic crystal system with P21/C space group for the grown sample. The various (hkl) planes have been confirmed by the powder X-ray diffraction. The vibrational frequencies and coupling interactions of the synthesized material were determined using Fourier Transform Infrared and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopic studies. TG/DTA study revealed that the crystal possesses a high melting point (385 °C). Linear and nonlinear optical studies have been carried out for the sample. Optical parameters such as extinction coefficient, reflectance, and linear refractive index were calculated. The photoluminescence spectrum shows a sharp emission peak at 425.4 nm, indicating blue emission. Interestingly, the results depict the suitability of the material for optical applications. The dielectric constant and dielectric loss are calculated by varying the frequencies at room temperature. The proton NMR spectrum was also recorded for the compound. The NLO susceptibility (χ(3)) was calculated by the Z-scan method using the source of the He–Ne laser, whose wavelength is 632.8 nm.
