Abstract

The potential organic bis-benzotriazole trichloroacetic acid (BBTCA) single crystal was formed by slow evaporation of solvents by solution-growth method. The structural parameters and crystalline perfection of BBTCA crystal was confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction and powder X-ray diffraction analyses. The BBTCA crystal belongs to the crystal system monoclinic with the space group of P21/c. Various functional groups and corresponding modes of vibrations were identified by using FTIR spectrum. The optical transparency window of the grown BBTCA crystal was studied by UV–Vis–NIR spectroscopy. Photoluminescence study indicates that the broad band emissions occurred at near band edge of the visible region. In TG-DTA, thermal behaviour reveals that BBTCA is thermally stable up to 130°C. The dielectric properties of BBTCA with respect to frequency were investigated with various temperatures. Third-order nonlinearities and mechanical behaviour of as-grown BBTCA crystal were tested by Z-scan experiment and Vicker’s hardness test.
