Synthesis, Growth And Characterization of 1-(5-chlorothiophen-2-yl)-3-(2,4,5-Trimethoxyphenyl) Prop-2-en-1-one Single Crystal: A Potential NLO Material

A potentially useful nonlinear optical (NLO) organic material, 1‐(5‐chlorothiophen‐2‐yl)‐3‐(24,5‐trimethoxyphenyl)prop‐2‐en‐1‐one(CTTMP), has been synthesized and grown as a high‐quality single crystal by the slow evaporation technique. The grown crystals were characterized by UV–visible spectroscopy. The material has thermal stability up to its melting point. Single beam Z‐scan technique was employed to study the third order NLO properties of the material.
