2-Amino-5-Nitropyridinium Halides (Br, Cl): An Efficient Frequency Doubler
Preview Abstract2-Amino-5-nitropyridinium halides (2A5NPBr)/(2A5NPCl) were synthesized by dissolving 2-amino-5-nitropyridine in hydrobromic/hydrochloric acid. Nanoparticles of 2A5NPBr and 2A5NPCl were attained by hydrothermal method. For comparison and estimation of mechanical properties, single crystals of the samples were grown by slow evaporation process. SEM analysis shows the formation of nanoparticles of 2A5NPBr and 2A5NPCl with average grain size of 50 and 100nm, respectively. UV-Vis analysis reveals that the materials possess low cut-off wavelength and a wide optical transmission window. By Vickers test, the Meyer index (n) was estimated to be 1.33 for 2A5NPBr and 2.49 for 2A5NPCl crystals. The SHG efficiency of 2A5NPBr and 2A5NPCl nanoparticles was calculated to be 1.5 and 4.3 times that of well known NLO material KDP. The role of cations in demonstrating the desired NLO properties were discussed in detail.
