【 摘 要 】

Single crystals of 8-hydroxyquinolinium 3-carboxy-4-hydroxy benzene sulfonate monohydrate were grown by slow evaporation technique at room temperature by using ethanol as solvent. Single crystal X-ray diffraction study elucidated that the crystal structure of8-hydroxyquinolinium 3-carboxy-4-hydroxy benzene sulfonate monohydrate belongs to monoclinic crystal system with space group P21/n. The solid state physical parameters have been also determined for the grown crystal from the single crystal data. The cut-off wavelength and optical band gap energy of grown crystal was found to be 420 nm and 2.67 eV respectively.Thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis reveals that the 8-hydroxyquinolinium 3-carboxy-4-hydroxy benzene sulfonate monohydrate single crystal is thermally stable up to 144oC without any weight loss. The mechanical properties of the grown crystal were studied by Vickers microhardness technique and it is found that 8-hydroxyquinolinium 3-carboxy-4-hydroxybenzene sulfonate monohydrate belongs to hard material category. The third order nonlinear refractive index (n2), nonlinear absorption coefficient (β) and nonlinear optical susceptibility (χ3) of the grown crystal were also measured by Z-scan studies.
