Synthesis, Growth and characterization of semi-organic zinc (tris) thiourea chloride crystal

Abstract

Zinc (Tris) Thiourea chloride (ZTTC) a semi organic nonlinear optical material has been grown by slow evaporation process from its aqueous solution. The grown crystals were subjected to characterize by Single crystal X-ray diffraction, Powder X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, optical transmission spectrum and Dielectric studies. Single crystal X-ray diffraction studies confirm the orthorhombic structure. The FTIR spectrum analysis has confirmed the functional groups in the ZTTC. Its optical behavior was examined by UV-Vis and found that the crystal is transparent in the region between 841-2000 nm. Dielectric study shows that the dielectric constant decreases with increase in frequency.
