Studies on semi-organic (C8H11NO)2[ZnCl4] single crystal for nonlinear optical (NLO) applications

Optically high quality metal-organic nonlinear optical (NLO) single crystals of bis(4-methoxybenzylammonium) tetrachloridozincate (4MBZ) have been harvested from the aqueous solution by solution growth technique. The single crystal X-ray diffraction (SXRD) results shows the grown 4MBZ crystal forms the monoclinic crystal system with space group of P21. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) pattern has been recorded in the 2θ range of 10–60° to confirm...
