NLO PHTHALATE CRYSTALS

A new inorganic nonlinear optical single crystal of magnesium nitro phthalate has been successfully grown form aqueous solution by the slow evaporation technique at room temperature. The crystals obtained by the above technique were subjected to different characterization analysis. The crystal system was confirmed from the single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The functional groups were identified using FTIR spectroscopy. UV-Vis-NIR spectrum showed that the UV cut-off wavelength of occurs at absorption in the wavelength region of 200–800 nm.
