Abstract

Single crystal of novel organic 4-chloro 3-nitrobenzophenone (4C3N) is grown by both the conventional slow evaporation solution technique (SEST) and Sankarnarayanan–Ramasamy (SR) method from acetone as solvent medium. The grown crystals were subjected to different characterization techniques to unveil the structural, lattice strain, and optical properties. Among these, Powder X-ray diffraction studies of the grown crystals revealed that the crystal system remains same as orthorhombic with few high intense peaks observed at (111), (013), and (213) and lattice strain evaluated in case of SR grown crystals. The high transmittance was observed from UV–Visible spectroscopy studies for SR grown crystals as compared to conventional grown crystals. The cut-off wavelengths were measured at ~ 420 nm, 430 nm and band gap energies at 3.025 eV, 3.052 eV, respectively, for Conventional and SR method grown crystals. The photoluminescent spectra revealed red shift in the emission peaks of grown crystals which are in good coherence with UV–Visible spectra. The crystalline perfection of grown 4C3N crystals were assessed by HRXRD technique. The full width at half maximum values of the diffracted planes (308) confirmed that the crystalline perfection of SR grown crystals is better than that of the crystals grown by SEST method which could be responsible for the enhancement of optical transparency of SR grown crystals.
