Synthesis, crystal structure, spectroscopic investigations, physicochemical properties of third-order NLO single crystal for optical applications

A new proton transfer salt, Glyciniun-2-Mesitylenesulphonate (C11H17NO5S) has been synthesized and its corresponding structure was predicted by Single crystal X-ray diffraction. From SCXRD, crystallised in monoclinic crystal system with the space group of P21/c with the unit cell dimensions: a = 13.2546(9) Å, b = 10.6363(7) Å, c = 9.5362(6) Å, V = 1343.98(15) Å3, Z = 4. The grown crystal was studied by FTIR, NMR, TG-DTA, CHN analysis, Uv Visible and Z-Scan measurements. The thermal stability was determined by TG/DTA analysis. Vickers microhardness test was carried out to identify the mechanical strength of the material. Third-order non-linear optical response of G2MS crystal was determined by the Z-scan technique.
