Abstract

An organic conjugated chromophore 2-aminopyridinium malonate (2APM) single crystal was synthesized and grown-up by means of slow solvent evaporation method. The unit cell parameters were assessed from single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The various characteristic fundamental vibration frequencies were identified by FTIR spectroscopic studies. Optical parameters like nature of transmittance, lower cut-off wavelength, and band gap (Eg) were found using UV–Vis–NIR spectrum. The mechanical property like microhardness of the 2APM sample was studied using a Vickers microhardness tester. The thermal stability nature of the grown crystal was determined using differential scanning calorimeter examination. The dielectric behavior of the 2APM crystal was studied at various frequencies and temperature. A Z-scan technique was used to investigate the third-order NLO response in 2APM.
