Growth, vibrational, optical, thermal, magnetic and dielectric behavior of organo-metallic tetramethylammonium cadmium chloride crystal

摘要： Single crystals of tetramethylammonium cadmium chloride were grown by slow evaporation technique. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction revealed that the crystal belongs to hexagonal crystal system with P63/m space group. The crystalline nature of the grown crystal was measured by power X-ray diffraction. The presence of functional groups was identi?ed using Fourier transform infrared and Fourier transform Raman studies. The optical absorption studies showed that the grown crystal transmit most of the incident radiation in the range of 200–800 nm. The diamagnetic property of the grown crystal has been analyzed by vibrating sample magnetometer. The mechanical stability of crystal is analyzed by Vickers microhardness study. Dielectric measurements were taken to analyze the dielectric constant and dielectric loss at different frequencies and temperatures. The thermal stability of grown crystals was con?rmed by thermogravimetry/differential thermal analysis. Thermal stability of the compound was entered up to 208 (cid:3)C.
