Abstract
A new organic framework of benzimidazole with picric acid has been synthesized. A single crystal with a size of 38Ã10Ã4Â mm3 was grown by a slow evaporation solution growth technique. X-ray diffraction study revealed that the BZP crystal belongs to triclinic system with space group P-1. High resolution X-ray diffraction study shows the absence of grain boundaries without any defects. The thermal stability and specific heat capacity of BZP were investigated by TG/DT and TG/DSC analyses. From the UV-vis-NIR spectral study, optical transmission window and band gap of BZP were found out. The nonlinear refractive index (n2) and third order susceptibility Re(Ï(3)) values of BZP crystal are estimated to be 1.73Ã10â7Â cm2/W and 1.26Ã10â5Â esu, respectively using a Z-scan technique.
