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 mm3 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.
