Synthesis, growth, structural and optical studies of a novel organic Piperazine (bis) p-toluenesulfonate single crystal

•Bulk crystal of PPTS was grown by the slow evaporation technique.•Crystal structure of PPTS was reported for the first time.•PPTS crystal has the thermal stability up to 230 °C.

A novel organic single crystal of Piperazinium (bis) p-toluenesulfonate (PPTS) was grown by a slow evaporation solution growth technique. The structure of the grown crystal was determined using single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The PPTS crystal belongs to the triclinic crystal system with space group of P1¯. The presence of functional groups was confirmed by FTIR spectral analysis. The optical transmittance range and cut-off wavelength were identified by UV–vis–NIR spectral studies. The luminescent properties of PPTS crystal were investigated. The thermal behavior of PPTS crystal was studied by TG-DT analyses.
