Solubility Studies and Growth of 4-aminobenzophenone Single Crystal: a Potential Organic NLO Material
The solubility and growth aspects of 4-aminobenzophenone (4-ABP) was investigated with an
intention to grow bulk and good quality crystal. The solubility of 4-ABP in various organic solvents
such as ethyl acetate, ethanol and O-xylene were studied. From the investigation, it was realized that
the 4-ABP material has highest solubility in ethyl acetate whereas it has the lowest solubility in pure
O-xylene solvent. Single crystals of 4-ABP were grown by solution growth using ethanol as a growth
medium which has the moderate solubility when compared to other solvents. The structural and optical
properties of the grown 4-ABP samples were studied. The lattice parameters of the 4-ABP were calculated
using X-ray diffraction analysis which confirmed the monoclinic structure of the grown material. The
optical transmission study showed that the 4-ABP has about 70% of transparency in the visible and near
infrared region.
