NLO MATERIALS: BIS(2-METHYL-4-NITROANILINIUM) TIN(IV) HEXACHLORIDE MONOHYDRATE - SINGLE CRYSTAL X-RAY DIFFRACTION ANALYSIS.

Abstract

Abstrakt. 2-Methyl-4-nitroaniline (2m4na) and Tin(IV) chloride formed a nonlinear optical material. The molecula obtained nonlinear optical material(NLO)=(2m4na)₂SnCl₆·H₂O-bis(2-Methyl-4-nitroanilinium)hexachloro-Tin(IV) monohydrate.In all the crystal structures presented, cations and anions are arranged alternatively to form chain and ring hydrogen-bonding patterns consisting of weak unconventional N−H•••Cl hydrogen bonds. The compound was first analyzed using single-crystal X-ray diffraction to determine its crystal structure. Subsequently, FTIR (Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy) and UV-visible absorption spectroscopy studies were conducted to provide insights into the compound's chemical composition and electronic transitions.
