Synthesis, Growth and Characterization of L-Glycine Glycinium Hydrochloride Monohydrate Crystals: A New Nonlinear Optical Material

Abstract

L-Glycine Glycinium Hydrochloride Monohydrate (L-GGHCM), a new second-order nonlinear optical crystal, was produced using the slow evaporation process with double distilled water as a solvent. Powder XRD analysis was completed in order to identify the crystallinity sample. In the orthorhombic system with space group P[Formula: see text], L-GGHCM expands in accordance with structural improvement. A single crystal XRD analysis discovered the extended framework architecture of L-GGHCM, a self-assembly process involving short-range and directed bonds, among many other interactions. The optical quality and transmission of the synthesized crystal were determined using UV–visible and fluorescence spectrum analysis. The effectiveness of L-GGHCM’s second harmonic generation is roughly 1.7 times compared to a standard potassium dihydrogen orthophosphate sample. Thermal analysis is used to study a material’s thermal stability and internal decomposition. L-glycine glycinium hydrochloride monohydrate crystal is shown to have good thermal stability.
