Abstract
New semi-organic bis(hydrogenmaleate)-Cu(II) tetrahydrate single crystal was grown by the slow evaporation method, and its structure belong to the triclinic system with centrosymmetric space group P-1. The structure of crystal was determined using X-ray diffraction analysis. BMCT has the highest O⋯H interaction (55.4%), which stabilize the crystal structure. The linear optical characteristics, including bandgap energy, refractive index, and extinction coefficient, were utilized to assess the optical activity of BMCT. The emission behaviour of grown crystal has been examined using fluorescence spectral analysis. Thermal analysis clarified BMCT’s thermal stability. The intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) and hyperconjucative contacts were interpreted using NBO analysis. Using Z-scan analysis, the self-defocusing effect was investigated in BMCT.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Electronics is an established refereed companion to the Journal of Materials Science. It publishes papers on materials and their applications in modern electronics, covering the ground between fundamental science, such as semiconductor physics, and work concerned specifically with applications. It explores the growth and preparation of new materials, as well as their processing, fabrication, bonding and encapsulation, together with the reliability, failure analysis, quality assurance and characterization related to the whole range of applications in electronics. The Journal presents papers in newly developing fields such as low dimensional structures and devices, optoelectronics including III-V compounds, glasses and linear/non-linear crystal materials and lasers, high Tc superconductors, conducting polymers, thick film materials and new contact technologies, as well as the established electronics device and circuit materials.
