Structural, Optical and Thermal Characterization of Synthesised Heterocyclic Organic Compound

A heterocyclic organic compound of 3-[(2z)-2-methyl-3-(4-nitrophenyl) prop-2-enoyl]-2H-(1-benzopyran-2-one) (MNB) is synthesized using Claisen-Schmidth condensation reaction. Structural characterization and presence of functional groups are carried out using powder X-ray diffractogram and FTIR spectroscopic studies respectively. Thermogravimetric analysis and differential thermal analysis are carried out to determine the melting property and it shows good thermal stability among organic crystal showing result at 166°C. Second Harmonic Generation efficiency study is carried out using Nd: YAG laser, this revealed that titled compound is good for NLO characterization and applicable in optoelectronics. PL wavelength present in visible region conclude that sample shows fluorescence property.
